What this shows Valeo's Innovation Score is 31.1/100 (37th percentile 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 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Valeo's grants concentrate

Valeo Powertrain GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). By volume, Valeo sits between Vysoke Uceni Technicke V Brne and Valyant AI, Inc..

Valeo's three-year grant acceleration

Valeo Powertrain GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
