What this shows BWT's Innovation Score is 36.7/100 (top 46% 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 BWT?

Each dot is one of BWT’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). BWT’s own 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where BWT's grants concentrate

BWT Holding GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, BWT sits between Bruss Sealing Systems GMBH and Becklin Holdings, Inc..

BWT's three-year grant acceleration

BWT Holding GmbH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
