What this shows Rockwell's Innovation Score is 40.1/100 (top 37% 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 Rockwell?

Each dot is one of Rockwell’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). Rockwell’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rockwell's grants concentrate

Rockwell Automation Safety AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under G01V (GEOPHYSICS; Gravitational MEASUREMENTS; Detecting Masses OR OBJECTS; Tags). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Rockwell sits between Robin Radar Facilities BV and Rsem, Limited Partnership.

Rockwell's three-year grant acceleration

Rockwell Automation Safety AG shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
