What this shows Innospec's Innovation Score is 54.2/100 (top 8% 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 Innospec?

Each dot is one of Innospec’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). Innospec’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Innospec's grants concentrate

Innospec Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 51.5% of grants classified under C10L (Fuels NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Natural GAS; Synthetic Natural GAS Obtained BY Processes NOT Covered BY Subclasses C10g OR C10K; Liquified Petroleum GAS; USE OF Additives TO Fuels OR FIRES; Fire-lig). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Innospec sits between Hebei Wanda Tyre Co., Ltd. and Jumio Corporation.

Innospec's three-year grant acceleration

Innospec Limited shows 22 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
