What this shows West's Innovation Score is 63.4/100 (top 2% 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 West?

Each dot is one of West’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). West’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where West's grants concentrate

West Affum Holdings DAC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 96.9% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (38 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2022. By volume, West sits between Sinfonia Technology Co., Ltd. and Bulgari S.P.A..

West's three-year grant acceleration

West Affum Holdings DAC shows 73 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
