What this shows Xylem's Innovation Score is 50.7/100 (top 13% 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 Xylem?

Each dot is one of Xylem’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). Xylem’s own 13.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Xylem's grants concentrate

Xylem Europe GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 59.5% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Xylem sits between WINBO-Dongjian Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. and Zodiac Aero Electric.

Xylem's three-year grant acceleration

Xylem Europe GmbH shows 23 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
