What this shows 3d-micromac's Innovation Score is 37.0/100 (top 45% 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 3d-micromac?

Each dot is one of 3d-micromac’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). 3d-micromac’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where 3d-micromac's grants concentrate

3D-Micromac AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under B23K (Soldering OR UNSOLDERING; WELDING; Cladding OR Plating BY Soldering OR WELDING; Cutting BY Applying Heat Locally, e.g. Flame CUTTING; Working BY Laser Beam). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, 3d-micromac sits between 152310 Canada and 5D Robotics, Inc..

3d-micromac's three-year grant acceleration

3D-Micromac AG shows 4 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.
