What this shows Abloy's Innovation Score is 50.2/100 (top 13% 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 Abloy?

Each dot is one of Abloy’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). Abloy’s own 13.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Abloy's grants concentrate

Abloy OY is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 71% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Abloy sits between Zhuhai Access Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and AGP America S.A..

Abloy's three-year grant acceleration

Abloy OY shows 15 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.
