What this shows Waukesha's Innovation Score is 39.1/100 (top 39% 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 Waukesha?

Each dot is one of Waukesha’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). Waukesha’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Waukesha's grants concentrate

Waukesha Bearings Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 94.7% of grants classified under F16C (SHAFTS; Flexible SHAFTS; Elements OR Crankshaft MECHANISMS; Rotary Bodies Other Than Gearing ELEMENTS; Bearings). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Waukesha sits between Wireman PTY Limited and Xeikon Manufacturing N.V..

Waukesha's three-year grant acceleration

Waukesha Bearings Corporation shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
