What this shows Seko's Innovation Score is 33.3/100 (44th percentile 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 Seko?

Each dot is one of Seko’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). Seko’s own 14.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Seko's grants concentrate

Seko S.p.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Seko sits between Schrader Electronics Limited and Seoul Laser Dieboard System Co., Ltd..

Seko's three-year grant acceleration

Seko S.p.A. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
