What this shows Lilium's Innovation Score is 52.3/100 (top 10% 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 Lilium?

Each dot is one of Lilium’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). Lilium’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Lilium's grants concentrate

Lilium eAircraft GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under B64D (Equipment FOR Fitting IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; Flight SUITS; PARACHUTES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Power Plants OR Propulsion Transmissions IN Aircraft). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (8 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2023. By volume, Lilium sits between Lacks Home Products and Lochinvar, LLC.

Lilium's three-year grant acceleration

Lilium eAircraft GmbH shows 11 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.
