What this shows John's Innovation Score is 44.4/100 (top 26% 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 John?

Each dot is one of John’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). John’s own 10.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where John's grants concentrate

John Cockerill Defense SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under F41H (ARMOUR; Armoured TURRETS; Armoured OR Armed VEHICLES; Means OF Attack OR Defence, e.g. Camouflage, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, John sits between Jiawei Renewable Energy Co., Ltd. and Johnson Solid State, LLC.

John's three-year grant acceleration

John Cockerill Defense SA shows 5 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.
