What this shows Bucher's Innovation Score is 51.3/100 (top 12% 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 Bucher?

Each dot is one of Bucher’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). Bucher’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bucher's grants concentrate

Bucher Hydraulics GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under F15B (Systems Acting BY Means OF Fluids IN GENERAL; Fluid-pressure Actuators, e.g. SERVOMOTORS; Details OF Fluid-pressure Systems, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Bucher sits between Bright Cloud International Corporation and Bunge Global Innovation, LLC.

Bucher's three-year grant acceleration

Bucher Hydraulics GmbH shows 5 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.
