What this shows Carl's Innovation Score is 31.7/100 (39th 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 Carl?

Each dot is one of Carl’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). Carl’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Carl's grants concentrate

Carl Geringhoff GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Carl sits between Calnetix Technologies, LLC and Changzhou Globe Co., Ltd..

Carl's three-year grant acceleration

Carl Geringhoff GmbH & Co. KG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
