What this shows Staubli's Innovation Score is 26.9/100 (22nd 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 Staubli?

Each dot is one of Staubli’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). Staubli’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Staubli's grants concentrate

Staubli Lyon is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under D03C (Shedding MECHANISMS; Pattern Cards OR CHAINS; Punching OF CARDS; Designing Patterns). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Staubli sits between ST Engineering Idirect (EUROPE) CY NV and STMicroelectronics Belgium.

Staubli's three-year grant acceleration

Staubli Lyon shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
