What this shows BOS's Innovation Score is 43.7/100 (top 27% 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 BOS?

Each dot is one of BOS’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). BOS’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where BOS's grants concentrate

BOS GMBH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 64.1% of grants classified under B60J (Windows, Windscreens, Non-fixed Roofs, Doors, OR Similar Devices FOR VEHICLES; Removable External Protective Coverings Specially Adapted FOR Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (13 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, BOS sits between thyssenkrupp Bilstein GmbH and CalAmp Corp.

BOS's three-year grant acceleration

BOS GMBH & Co. KG shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
