What this shows Swisslog's Innovation Score is 36.0/100 (top 48% 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 Swisslog?

Each dot is one of Swisslog’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). Swisslog’s own 21.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Swisslog's grants concentrate

Swisslog Logistics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Swisslog sits between Surfx Technologies LLC and Systima Technologies, Inc..

Swisslog's three-year grant acceleration

Swisslog Logistics, Inc. shows 2 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.
