What this shows Mecachrome's Innovation Score is 38.0/100 (top 42% 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 Mecachrome?

Each dot is one of Mecachrome’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). Mecachrome’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mecachrome's grants concentrate

Mecachrome France is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under B23D (PLANING; SLOTTING; SHEARING; BROACHING; SAWING; FILING; SCRAPING; Like Operations FOR Working Metal BY Removing Material, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Mecachrome sits between Mayachitra, Inc. and Medica Medizintechnik GmbH.

Mecachrome's three-year grant acceleration

Mecachrome France 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.
