What this shows Ground's Innovation Score is 30.8/100 (36th percentile 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 Ground?

Each dot is one of Ground’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). Ground’s own 7.0 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ground's grants concentrate

Ground Effects, Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). By volume, Ground sits between Greenovation Biotech GMBH and Gruber, LLC.

Ground's three-year grant acceleration

Ground Effects, Ltd. shows 2 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.
