What this shows Wavin's Innovation Score is 35.8/100 (top 48% 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 Wavin?

Each dot is one of Wavin’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). Wavin’s own 23.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wavin's grants concentrate

Wavin B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Wavin sits between Wuhan Lotus Cars Co., Ltd and West Virginia University Research Corporation.

Wavin's three-year grant acceleration

Wavin B.V. shows 2 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.
