What this shows Besi's Innovation Score is 40.8/100 (top 35% 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 Besi?

Each dot is one of Besi’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). Besi’s own 12.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Besi's grants concentrate

Besi Netherlands B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 78.9% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Besi sits between Beaverfit Limited and Betta Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd.

Besi's three-year grant acceleration

Besi Netherlands B.V. shows 6 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.
