What this shows Secop's Innovation Score is 54.0/100 (top 8% 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 Secop?

Each dot is one of Secop’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). Secop’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Secop's grants concentrate

Secop GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 56.3% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Secop sits between Schunk Transit Systems GMBH and Shaw Development, LLC.

Secop's three-year grant acceleration

Secop GMBH shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
