What this shows Valeo's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 Valeo?

Each dot is one of Valeo’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). Valeo’s own 15.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Valeo's grants concentrate

Valeo Klimasysteme GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under B60H (Arrangements OF Heating, Cooling, Ventilating OR Other Air-treating Devices Specially Adapted FOR Passenger OR Goods Spaces OF Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Valeo sits between Urgo Recherche Innovation ET Developpement and Venture Products, Inc..

Valeo's three-year grant acceleration

Valeo Klimasysteme GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
