What this shows Sandvik's Innovation Score is 40.6/100 (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 Sandvik?

Each dot is one of Sandvik’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). Sandvik’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sandvik's grants concentrate

Sandvik Mining and Construction Australia Pty Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under E21D (SHAFTS; TUNNELS; GALLERIES; Large Underground Chambers). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Sandvik sits between Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC and Satelles, Inc..

Sandvik's three-year grant acceleration

Sandvik Mining and Construction Australia Pty Ltd shows 4 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.
