What this shows Carraro's Innovation Score is 35.2/100 (top 50% 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 Carraro?

Each dot is one of Carraro’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). Carraro’s own 15.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Carraro's grants concentrate

Carraro S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B60K (Arrangement OR Mounting OF Propulsion Units OR OF Transmissions IN VEHICLES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Plural Diverse Prime-movers IN VEHICLES; Auxiliary Drives FOR VEHICLES; Instrumentation OR Dashb). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Carraro sits between Cargotec Research & Development Ireland Limited and Castle Island IP Holding LLC.

Carraro's three-year grant acceleration

Carraro S.P.A. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
