What this shows Bontaz's Innovation Score is 37.9/100 (top 42% 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 Bontaz?

Each dot is one of Bontaz’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). Bontaz’s own 14.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bontaz's grants concentrate

Bontaz Centre R & D is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F01P (Cooling OF Machines OR Engines IN GENERAL; Cooling OF Internal-combustion Engines). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Bontaz sits between BMC (Tianjin) Medical Co., Ltd. and Bouygues Travaux Publics.

Bontaz's three-year grant acceleration

Bontaz Centre R & D 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.
