What this shows Cargotec's Innovation Score is 27.4/100 (24th 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 Cargotec?

Each dot is one of Cargotec’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). Cargotec’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cargotec's grants concentrate

Cargotec Research & Development Ireland Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B66F (Hoisting, Lifting, Hauling OR Pushing, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Devices Which Apply A Lifting OR Pushing Force Directly TO THE Surface OF A Load). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Cargotec sits between Cardiosert Ltd. and Carraro S.P.A..

Cargotec's three-year grant acceleration

Cargotec Research & Development Ireland Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
