What this shows Johnson's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Johnson?

Each dot is one of Johnson’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). Johnson’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Johnson's grants concentrate

Johnson Controls Denmark ApS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under F25B (Refrigeration Machines, Plants OR SYSTEMS; Combined Heating AND Refrigeration SYSTEMS; Heat Pump Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Johnson sits between Joelex, Inc. and Joline GmbH & Co. KG.

Johnson's three-year grant acceleration

Johnson Controls Denmark ApS shows 1 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.
