What this shows Blum-novotest's Innovation Score is 27.2/100 (23rd percentile 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 Blum-novotest?

Each dot is one of Blum-novotest’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). Blum-novotest’s own 11.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Blum-novotest's grants concentrate

Blum-novotest GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under G01B (Measuring Length, Thickness OR Similar Linear DIMENSIONS; Measuring ANGLES; Measuring AREAS; Measuring Irregularities OF Surfaces OR Contours). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Blum-novotest sits between Bioniz, LLC and Bonsen Electronics Limited.

Blum-novotest's three-year grant acceleration

Blum-novotest GMBH shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
