What this shows Marel's Innovation Score is 48.4/100 (top 17% 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 Marel?

Each dot is one of Marel’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). Marel’s own 15.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Marel's grants concentrate

Marel Meat B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under A22B (Slaughtering). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Marel sits between MAG IAS GMBH and Matco Tools Corporation.

Marel's three-year grant acceleration

Marel Meat B.V. shows 10 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.
