What this shows ABB's Innovation Score is 43.9/100 (top 27% 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 ABB?

Each dot is one of ABB’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). ABB’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ABB's grants concentrate

ABB Power Electronics Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, ABB sits between 6 River Systems, LLC and Accessesp UK Limited.

ABB's three-year grant acceleration

ABB Power Electronics Inc. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
