What this shows Wbtec's Innovation Score is 37.8/100 (top 43% 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 Wbtec?

Each dot is one of Wbtec’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). Wbtec’s own 14.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wbtec's grants concentrate

Wbtec, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under H02J (Circuit Arrangements OR Systems FOR Supplying OR Distributing Electric POWER; Systems FOR Storing Electric Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Wbtec sits between W. L. Gore & Associates G.K. and Wilo SE.

Wbtec's three-year grant acceleration

Wbtec, LLC shows 6 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.
