What this shows Wilo's Innovation Score is 33.3/100 (44th 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 Wilo?

Each dot is one of Wilo’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). Wilo’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wilo's grants concentrate

Wilo SE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Wilo sits between Wbtec, LLC and World Bottling CAP, LLC.

Wilo's three-year grant acceleration

Wilo SE shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
