What this shows Rolls-royce's Innovation Score is 53.4/100 (top 9% 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 Rolls-royce?

Each dot is one of Rolls-royce’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). Rolls-royce’s own 12.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rolls-royce's grants concentrate

Rolls-Royce Solutions, GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 76.2% of grants classified under F02D (Controlling Combustion Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2022. By volume, Rolls-royce sits between Reach Surgical, Inc. and Sayfa R&D PTY Ltd.

Rolls-royce's three-year grant acceleration

Rolls-Royce Solutions, GmbH shows 13 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.
