What this shows Suez's Innovation Score is 49.7/100 (top 14% 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 Suez?

Each dot is one of Suez’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). Suez’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Suez's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Suez Groupe received 23 grants versus 4 in 2015–2019 (+475% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2021 at 9 grants and bottomed in 2019 at 1. Lead class C02F accounts for 27.6% of the portfolio across 55 subclasses. Volume neighbours: STC, Inc. (#10,751) and Scholar Rock, Inc. (#10,759).

Suez's three-year grant acceleration

Suez Groupe shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
