What this shows Volvo's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 Volvo?

Each dot is one of Volvo’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). Volvo’s own 14.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Volvo's grants concentrate

Volvo Technology Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Volvo sits between Vita-course Technologies Co., Ltd. and Valeo Radar Systems, Inc..

Volvo's three-year grant acceleration

Volvo Technology Corporation 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.
