What this shows Basf's Innovation Score is 48.0/100 (top 17% 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 Basf?

Each dot is one of Basf’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). Basf’s own 16.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Basf's grants concentrate

Basf Agro Trademarks GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 51.6% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Basf sits between AtaCor Medical, Inc. and BP P.L.C..

Basf's three-year grant acceleration

Basf Agro Trademarks GmbH shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
