What this shows Grendene's Innovation Score is 23.0/100 (11th 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 Grendene?

Each dot is one of Grendene’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). Grendene’s own 1.4 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Grendene's grants concentrate

Grendene S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 6.9% of grants classified under A43B (Characteristic Features OF FOOTWEAR; Parts OF Footwear). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Grendene sits between Gymworld Inc. and HCA Holdings, Inc..

Grendene's three-year grant acceleration

Grendene S.A. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
