What this shows Marel's Innovation Score is 45.2/100 (top 24% 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 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Marel's grants concentrate

Marel Salmon A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under A22C (Processing Meat, Poultry, OR Fish). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Marel sits between Lubris LLC and Medmix Systems AG.

Marel's three-year grant acceleration

Marel Salmon A/S shows 7 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.
