What this shows Legrand's Innovation Score is 46.2/100 (top 21% 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 Legrand?

Each dot is one of Legrand’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). Legrand’s own 16.8 claims/patent is at or below the 19.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Legrand's grants concentrate

Legrand SNC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 54.2% of grants classified under H02G (Installation OF Electric Cables OR Lines, OR OF Combined Optical AND Electric Cables OR Lines). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Legrand sits between KalVista Pharmaceuticals Limited and Linco Food Systems A/S.

Legrand's three-year grant acceleration

Legrand SNC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
