What this shows Altana's Innovation Score is 44.2/100 (top 26% 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 Altana?

Each dot is one of Altana’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). Altana’s own 11.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Altana's grants concentrate

Altana AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C08F (Macromolecular Compounds Obtained BY Reactions Only Involving Carbon-to-carbon Unsaturated Bonds). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Altana sits between ALS Automated Lab Solutions GmbH and Altus Partners LLC.

Altana's three-year grant acceleration

Altana AG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
