What this shows Maersk's Innovation Score is 38.7/100 (top 40% 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 Maersk?

Each dot is one of Maersk’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). Maersk’s own 15.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Maersk's grants concentrate

Maersk Container Industry A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under F25D (REFRIGERATORS; Cold ROOMS; ICE-BOXES; Cooling OR Freezing Apparatus NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Maersk sits between M-Flow Technologies Limited and Mammoet USA South, Inc..

Maersk's three-year grant acceleration

Maersk Container Industry A/S shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
