What this shows Andritz'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 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 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Andritz's grants concentrate

Andritz Hydro GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 84.6% of grants classified under F03B (Machines OR Engines FOR Liquids). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Andritz sits between Alstom Renovables España, S.L. and API Healthcare Corporation.

Andritz's three-year grant acceleration

Andritz Hydro GMBH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
