What this shows Sandvik's Innovation Score is 51.6/100 (top 11% 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 12.4 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 Sandvik's grants concentrate

Sandvik Mining and Construction Tools AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 65.4% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Sandvik sits between Sunstar Inc. and Shanxi University.

Sandvik's three-year grant acceleration

Sandvik Mining and Construction Tools AB shows 15 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.
