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 12.6 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 Safran's grants concentrate
Safran Transmission Systems is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 84.2% of grants classified under F05D (Indexing Scheme FOR Aspects Relating TO Non-positive-displacement Machines OR Engines, Gas-turbines OR Jet-propulsion Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (30 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2018. By volume, Safran sits between Kohler Mira Limited and Sangamo Therapeutics, Inc..
Safran's three-year grant acceleration
From 2019–2021 to 2022–2024, Safran Transmission Systems moved from 53 to 79 grants (1.49x the prior three-year total, a multiple, not a CAGR). Among 3,296 tracked assignees with ≥100 grants and ≥20 prior-period grants, that multiple ranks #455. See the growth leaderboard.
