What this shows Bernina's Innovation Score is 24.1/100 (14th 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 Bernina?

Each dot is one of Bernina’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). Bernina’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bernina's grants concentrate

Bernina International AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under D05B (Sewing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Bernina sits between Beijing BOE Health Technology Co., Ltd. and Bio-techne Corporation.

Bernina's three-year grant acceleration

Bernina International AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
