What this shows Gtat's Innovation Score is 43.6/100 (top 28% 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 Gtat?

Each dot is one of Gtat’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). Gtat’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gtat's grants concentrate

Gtat Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 57.9% of grants classified under C30B (Single-crystal Growth ; Unidirectional Solidification OF Eutectic Material OR Unidirectional Demixing OF Eutectoid MATERIAL; Refining BY Zone-melting OF Material ; Production OF A Homogeneous Polycrys). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Gtat sits between GEM Products, LLC and General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc..

Gtat's three-year grant acceleration

Gtat Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
