What this shows Robertshaw's Innovation Score is 51.0/100 (top 12% 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 Robertshaw?

Each dot is one of Robertshaw’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). Robertshaw’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Robertshaw's grants concentrate

Robertshaw Controls Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 57.8% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Robertshaw sits between Precision BioSciences, Inc. and Skidata GmbH.

Robertshaw's three-year grant acceleration

Robertshaw Controls Company shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
