What this shows Vacon's Innovation Score is 44.9/100 (top 24% 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 Vacon?

Each dot is one of Vacon’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). Vacon’s own 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vacon's grants concentrate

Vacon OY is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H02M (Apparatus FOR Conversion Between AC AND AC, Between AC AND DC, OR Between DC AND DC, AND FOR USE With Mains OR Similar Power Supply SYSTEMS; Conversion OF DC OR AC Input Power Into Surge Output POWER;). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Vacon sits between Universitat AUTÓNOMA DE Barcelona and Velocys, Inc..

Vacon's three-year grant acceleration

Vacon OY shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
