What this shows Oberthur's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 Oberthur?

Each dot is one of Oberthur’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). Oberthur’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Oberthur's grants concentrate

Oberthur Fiduciaire SAS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under B42D (BOOKS; Book COVERS; Loose LEAVES; Printed Matter Characterised BY Identification OR Security FEATURES; Printed Matter OF Special Format OR Style NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Devices FOR USE Therewith A). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Oberthur sits between Nutri Co., Ltd. and Ocunexus Therapeutics, Inc..

Oberthur's three-year grant acceleration

Oberthur Fiduciaire SAS shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
