What this shows Konescranes's Innovation Score is 40.5/100 (top 35% 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 Konescranes?

Each dot is one of Konescranes’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). Konescranes’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Konescranes's grants concentrate

Konescranes Global Oy is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Konescranes sits between Kokoku Intech Co., Ltd. and Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co., Ltd..

Konescranes's three-year grant acceleration

Konescranes Global Oy shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
