What this shows Wilco's Innovation Score is 40.0/100 (top 37% 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 Wilco?

Each dot is one of Wilco’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). Wilco’s own 24.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wilco's grants concentrate

Wilco AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under G01M (Testing Static OR Dynamic Balance OF Machines OR STRUCTURES; Testing OF Structures OR Apparatus, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Wilco sits between Well Stone Co. and Wipqtus Inc..

Wilco's three-year grant acceleration

Wilco AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
