What this shows Smeg's Innovation Score is 25.3/100 (17th 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 Smeg?

Each dot is one of Smeg’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). Smeg’s own 3.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Smeg's grants concentrate

Smeg S.P.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 5.4% of grants classified under F24C (Domestic Stoves OR Ranges ; Details OF Domestic Stoves OR Ranges, OF General Application). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Smeg sits between Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. and Saint-Augustin Canada Electric Inc..

Smeg's three-year grant acceleration

Smeg S.P.A. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
