What this shows Visy's Innovation Score is 23.6/100 (13th 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 Visy?

Each dot is one of Visy’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). Visy’s own 3.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Visy's grants concentrate

Visy R & D Pty Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 12.9% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Visy sits between Vodafone Group PLC. and Wonik IPS Co., Ltd..

Visy's three-year grant acceleration

Visy R & D Pty Ltd shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
