What this shows Union's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 Union?

Each dot is one of Union’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). Union’s own 20.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Union's grants concentrate

Union Engineering A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y02C (Capture, Storage, Sequestration OR Disposal OF Greenhouse Gases [GHG]). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Union sits between UMF Corporation and Unitronics Automated Solutions Ltd.

Union's three-year grant acceleration

Union Engineering A/S shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
