What this shows Ineos's Innovation Score is 46.0/100 (top 22% 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 Ineos?

Each dot is one of Ineos’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). Ineos’s own 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ineos's grants concentrate

Ineos Europe AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 65% of grants classified under C08F (Macromolecular Compounds Obtained BY Reactions Only Involving Carbon-to-carbon Unsaturated Bonds). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (19 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Ineos sits between Hyperloop Technologies, Inc. and Intellectual Ventures Holding 81 LLC.

Ineos's three-year grant acceleration

Ineos Europe AG shows 2 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.
