What this shows Safran's Innovation Score is 63.8/100 (top 2% 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 Safran?

Each dot is one of Safran’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). Safran’s own 15.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Safran's grants concentrate

Safran Landing Systems Canada Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 79.6% of grants classified under B64C (AEROPLANES; Helicopters). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Safran sits between Standard Cognition, Corp. and Skylo Technologies, Inc..

Safran's three-year grant acceleration

Safran Landing Systems Canada Inc. shows 32 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
