What this shows Zodiac's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 41% 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 Zodiac?

Each dot is one of Zodiac’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). Zodiac’s own 17.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Zodiac's grants concentrate

Zodiac Cabin Controls GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under B64D (Equipment FOR Fitting IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; Flight SUITS; PARACHUTES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Power Plants OR Propulsion Transmissions IN Aircraft). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Zodiac sits between Zhongshan Gaoneng Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. and cytena GmbH.

Zodiac's three-year grant acceleration

Zodiac Cabin Controls GmbH shows 3 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.
