What this shows Vikan's Innovation Score is 26.0/100 (19th 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 Vikan?

Each dot is one of Vikan’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). Vikan’s own 3.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vikan's grants concentrate

Vikan A/S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 15.4% of grants classified under A46D (Manufacture OF Brushes). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Vikan sits between Veea Systems Limited and Vista Precision Solutions, Inc..

Vikan's three-year grant acceleration

Vikan A/S shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
