What this shows Piab's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (45th percentile 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.

Where Piab's grants concentrate

Piab Aktiebolag is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under B25J (MANIPULATORS; Chambers Provided With Manipulation Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Piab sits between PCS Ferguson, Inc. and Pochet DU Courval.

Piab's three-year grant acceleration

Piab Aktiebolag shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
