What this shows Superba's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th 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 Superba?

Each dot is one of Superba’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). Superba’s own 12.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Superba's grants concentrate

Superba S.A.S. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under D06B (Treating Textile Materials Using Liquids, Gases OR Vapours). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Superba sits between Sumitomo Pharma Switzerland GmbH and Supply Point Systems Limited.

Superba's three-year grant acceleration

Superba S.A.S. shows 1 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.
