What this shows Superior's Innovation Score is 27.4/100 (24th 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 Superior?

Each dot is one of Superior’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). Superior’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 13.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Superior's grants concentrate

Superior Industries International Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under B60B (Vehicle Wheels ; CASTORS; Axles FOR Wheels OR CASTORS; Increasing Wheel Adhesion). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Superior sits between Streamline Innovations, Inc. and Swivel Rental & Supply L.L.C..

Superior's three-year grant acceleration

Superior Industries International Inc. shows 2 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.
