What this shows Smw-autoblok's Innovation Score is 35.7/100 (top 48% 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 Smw-autoblok?

Each dot is one of Smw-autoblok’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). Smw-autoblok’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Smw-autoblok's grants concentrate

SMW-Autoblok Spannsysteme GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 60.9% of grants classified under B23Q (Details, Components, OR Accessories FOR Machine Tools, e.g. Arrangements FOR Copying OR Controlling ; Machine Tools IN General Characterised BY THE Construction OF Particular Details OR COMPONENTS; Co). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Smw-autoblok sits between Shine Technologies, LLC and Stmicroelectronics (BEIJING) R&D Co., Ltd.

Smw-autoblok's three-year grant acceleration

SMW-Autoblok Spannsysteme GmbH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
