What this shows Carl's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 22.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 19.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Carl's grants concentrate
Carl Zeiss MultiSEM GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01J (Electric Discharge Tubes OR Discharge Lamps). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2020. By volume, Carl sits between Curexo, Inc. and Chiaro Technology Limited.
Carl's three-year grant acceleration
Carl Zeiss MultiSEM GmbH shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
