What this shows Bosch's Innovation Score is 48.2/100 (top 17% 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.

Where Bosch's grants concentrate

Bosch Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 39 CPC subclasses with 40.8% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Bosch sits between Aplix and Baxter Corporation Englewood.

Bosch's three-year grant acceleration

Bosch Corporation shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
