What this shows Bekaert's Innovation Score is 47.1/100 (top 19% 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 16.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bekaert's grants concentrate

Bekaert Combustion Technology B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under F23D (Burners). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Bekaert sits between Beijing Sevenstar Electronics Co., Ltd. and Best Friend Group OY.

Bekaert's three-year grant acceleration

Bekaert Combustion Technology B.V. 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.
