Does more volume mean deeper claims for Affimed?
Each dot is one of Affimed’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). Affimed’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Affimed's grants concentrate
Affimed GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Affimed sits between Adtran Networks SE and AIM Design, LLC.
Affimed's three-year grant acceleration
Affimed GMBH 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.
