What this shows Rockwell's Innovation Score is 40.8/100 (top 35% 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 16.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Rockwell's grants concentrate

Rockwell Automation Switzerland GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 70.6% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Rockwell sits between Revogenex Ireland Ltd and Rose Plastic AG.

Rockwell's three-year grant acceleration

Rockwell Automation Switzerland GmbH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
