What this shows SKF's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (46th 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 SKF?

Each dot is one of SKF’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). SKF’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 11.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where SKF's grants concentrate

SKF Motion Technologies AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, SKF sits between Sitech Sitztechnik GMBH and SM Instruments Co., Ltd..

SKF's three-year grant acceleration

SKF Motion Technologies AB shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
