What this shows Smbure's Innovation Score is 32.8/100 (42nd 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 Smbure?

Each dot is one of Smbure’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). Smbure’s own 9.5 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Smbure's grants concentrate

Smbure Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Smbure sits between Smarter Microelectronics (SHANGHAI) Co., Ltd. and SN Maschinenbau GmbH.

Smbure's three-year grant acceleration

Smbure Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
