What this shows Bion's Innovation Score is 34.1/100 (47th 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 Bion?

Each dot is one of Bion’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). Bion’s own 12.1 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bion's grants concentrate

Bion Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Bion sits between Beumer Group A/S and BMA Braunschweigische Maschinenbauanstalt AG.

Bion's three-year grant acceleration

Bion Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
