What this shows WD's Innovation Score is 22.5/100 (10th percentile 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 WD?

Each dot is one of WD’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). WD’s own 4.5 claims/patent is at or below the 9.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where WD's grants concentrate

WD Racing OY is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 28.6% of grants classified under B29D (Producing Particular Articles From Plastics OR From Substances IN A Plastic State). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, WD sits between WAI Shing Plastic Products Ltd. and West Coast Chain MFG. Co..

WD's three-year grant acceleration

WD Racing OY shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
