What this shows Meggitt's Innovation Score is 48.0/100 (top 17% 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 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Meggitt's grants concentrate

Meggitt SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under B60C (Vehicle TYRES; Tyre INFLATION; Tyre CHANGING; Connecting Valves TO Inflatable Elastic Bodies IN GENERAL; Devices OR Arrangements Related TO Tyres). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Meggitt sits between Medivation Prostate Therapeutics LLC and Merck Chemicals and Life Science AB.

Meggitt's three-year grant acceleration

Meggitt SA shows 2 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.
