What this shows Bacardi's Innovation Score is 31.8/100 (39th percentile 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 Bacardi?

Each dot is one of Bacardi’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). Bacardi’s own 3.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bacardi's grants concentrate

Bacardi & Company Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under B67D (Dispensing, Delivering OR Transferring Liquids, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Bacardi sits between B/E Aerospace (UK) Limited and Balanced Engineering Solution, LLC.

Bacardi's three-year grant acceleration

Bacardi & Company Limited shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
