What this shows Buss's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Buss?

Each dot is one of Buss’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). Buss’s own 8.1 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 Buss's grants concentrate

Buss AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 58.8% of grants classified under B29B (Preparation OR Pretreatment OF THE Material TO BE SHAPED; Making Granules OR PREFORMS; Recovery OF Plastics OR Other Constituents OF Waste Material Containing Plastics). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Buss sits between Broadsign Serv Inc. and BeyondSpring Phamaceuticals, Inc..

Buss's three-year grant acceleration

Buss AG shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
