What this shows Kratos's Innovation Score is 29.7/100 (31st 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 Kratos?

Each dot is one of Kratos’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). Kratos’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kratos's grants concentrate

Kratos Analytical Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Kratos sits between Koolspan, Inc. and Kunshan Airbag Packing Corp.

Kratos's three-year grant acceleration

Kratos Analytical Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
