What this shows Bausch's Innovation Score is 51.5/100 (top 11% 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 Bausch?

Each dot is one of Bausch’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). Bausch’s own 16.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bausch's grants concentrate

Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen GmbH + Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Bausch sits between Bwxt Isotope Technology Group, Inc. and Beijing ConST Instruments Technology Inc..

Bausch's three-year grant acceleration

Bausch + Ströbel Maschinenfabrik Ilshofen GmbH + Co. KG shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
