What this shows Danfoss's Innovation Score is 55.1/100 (top 7% 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 Danfoss?

Each dot is one of Danfoss’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). Danfoss’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Danfoss's grants concentrate

Danfoss (TIANJIN) Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 56.8% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Danfoss sits between CornellCookson, LLC and Draeger Safety UK Limited.

Danfoss's three-year grant acceleration

Danfoss (TIANJIN) Ltd. shows 19 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.
