What this shows Bekaert's Innovation Score is 42.2/100 (top 31% 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 Bekaert?

Each dot is one of Bekaert’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). Bekaert’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bekaert's grants concentrate

Bekaert Advanced Cords Aalter NV is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under D07B (Ropes OR Cables IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Bekaert sits between Beijing BOE Technology and Bethrick, Inc..

Bekaert's three-year grant acceleration

Bekaert Advanced Cords Aalter NV shows 7 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.
