What this shows Carlsberg's Innovation Score is 43.5/100 (top 28% 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 Carlsberg?

Each dot is one of Carlsberg’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). Carlsberg’s own 16.0 claims/patent is at or below the 19.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Carlsberg's grants concentrate

Carlsberg Breweries A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under B67D (Dispensing, Delivering OR Transferring Liquids, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carlsberg sits between CUE Health Inc. and Clean Energy Labs, LLC.

Carlsberg's three-year grant acceleration

Carlsberg Breweries A/S shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
