What this shows Swep's Innovation Score is 47.5/100 (top 18% 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 Swep?

Each dot is one of Swep’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). Swep’s own 8.4 claims/patent is at or below the 10.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Swep's grants concentrate

Swep International AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 92% of grants classified under F28D (Heat-exchange Apparatus, NOT Provided FOR IN Another Subclass, IN Which THE Heat-exchange Media DO NOT Come Into Direct Contact). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Swep sits between Stratosaudio, Inc. and Schleifring GmbH.

Swep's three-year grant acceleration

Swep International AB shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
