What this shows Webasto's Innovation Score is 21.6/100 (9th 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 Webasto?

Each dot is one of Webasto’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). Webasto’s own 4.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Webasto's grants concentrate

Webasto Japan Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B60J (Windows, Windscreens, Non-fixed Roofs, Doors, OR Similar Devices FOR VEHICLES; Removable External Protective Coverings Specially Adapted FOR Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Webasto sits between W2bi, Inc. and Whitehat Security, Inc..

Webasto's three-year grant acceleration

Webasto Japan Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
