What this shows Vanderlande's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Vanderlande?

Each dot is one of Vanderlande’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). Vanderlande’s own 16.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vanderlande's grants concentrate

Vanderlande Industries B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 82.1% 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 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Vanderlande sits between Universiti Putra Malaysia and Vifor (International) AG.

Vanderlande's three-year grant acceleration

Vanderlande Industries B.V. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
