What this shows Copeland's Innovation Score is 44.0/100 (top 27% 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 Copeland?

Each dot is one of Copeland’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). Copeland’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 19.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Copeland's grants concentrate

Copeland Europe GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). By volume, Copeland sits between Control Dynamics, Inc. and Coretrax Americas Ltd..

Copeland's three-year grant acceleration

Copeland Europe GmbH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
