What this shows Andritz's Innovation Score is 49.0/100 (top 15% 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 Andritz?

Each dot is one of Andritz’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). Andritz’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Andritz's grants concentrate

Andritz Hydro Canada Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F03B (Machines OR Engines FOR Liquids). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Andritz sits between Andes Biotechnologies Global, Inc. and Angioclinic AG.

Andritz's three-year grant acceleration

Andritz Hydro Canada Inc. 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.
