What this shows Väderstad's Innovation Score is 36.4/100 (top 47% 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 Väderstad?

Each dot is one of Väderstad’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). Väderstad’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Väderstad's grants concentrate

Väderstad Holding AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Väderstad sits between Vidatronic, Inc. and Whitestone Co., Ltd..

Väderstad's three-year grant acceleration

Väderstad Holding AB shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
