What this shows Bobst's Innovation Score is 34.9/100 (49th 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 Bobst?

Each dot is one of Bobst’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). Bobst’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bobst's grants concentrate

Bobst (SHANGHAI) Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B41F (Printing Machines OR Presses). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Bobst sits between Bo-jiang Technology Co., Ltd. and Bolder Products, LLC.

Bobst's three-year grant acceleration

Bobst (SHANGHAI) Ltd shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
