What this shows 4activesystems's Innovation Score is 33.9/100 (46th 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 4activesystems?

Each dot is one of 4activesystems’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). 4activesystems’s own 17.3 claims/patent is at or below the 18.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 4activesystems's grants concentrate

4activeSystems GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 83.3% 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 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, 4activesystems sits between 3D Bridge Solutions Inc. and 9172-9863 Quebec Inc..

4activesystems's three-year grant acceleration

4activeSystems GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
