What this shows Bucherer's Innovation Score is 27.1/100 (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 Bucherer?

Each dot is one of Bucherer’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). Bucherer’s own 4.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bucherer's grants concentrate

Bucherer AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 17.6% of grants classified under G04B (Mechanically-driven Clocks OR WATCHES; Mechanical Parts OF Clocks OR Watches IN GENERAL; Time Pieces Using THE Position OF THE SUN, Moon OR Stars). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Bucherer sits between Bricsys NV and BenShot, LLC.

Bucherer's three-year grant acceleration

Bucherer AG shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
