What this shows Goodrich's Innovation Score is 58.1/100 (top 5% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Goodrich?

Each dot is one of Goodrich’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Goodrich’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Goodrich's grants concentrate

Goodrich Lighting Systems GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B64D (Equipment FOR Fitting IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; Flight SUITS; PARACHUTES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Power Plants OR Propulsion Transmissions IN Aircraft). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (23 grants) versus a trough of 6 in 2023. By volume, Goodrich sits between Grirem Advanced Materials Co., Ltd. and Hitachi Information AND Telecommunication Engineering, Ltd..

Goodrich's three-year grant acceleration

Goodrich Lighting Systems GmbH & Co. KG shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
