What this shows Meggitt's Innovation Score is 26.8/100 (22nd 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 Meggitt?

Each dot is one of Meggitt’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). Meggitt’s own 10.3 claims/patent is at or below the 18.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Meggitt's grants concentrate

Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under B60T (Vehicle Brake Control Systems OR Parts THEREOF; Brake Control Systems OR Parts Thereof, IN General ; Arrangement OF Braking Elements ON Vehicles IN GENERAL; Portable Devices FOR Preventing Unwanted MO). By volume, Meggitt sits between Medtronic Urinary Solutions, Inc. and Meritor Heavy Vehicle Systems Cameri SpA.

Meggitt's three-year grant acceleration

Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
