What this shows Butler's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th 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 Butler?

Each dot is one of Butler’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). Butler’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Butler's grants concentrate

Butler Engineering AND Marketing S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under B60C (Vehicle TYRES; Tyre INFLATION; Tyre CHANGING; Connecting Valves TO Inflatable Elastic Bodies IN GENERAL; Devices OR Arrangements Related TO Tyres). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Butler sits between Brunson Instrument Company and Bardex Corporation.

Butler's three-year grant acceleration

Butler Engineering AND Marketing S.P.A. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
