What this shows Centa's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 Centa?

Each dot is one of Centa’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). Centa’s own 17.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Centa's grants concentrate

Centa Antriebe Kirschey GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Centa sits between Celltrend GMBH and CEO Vision, Inc.

Centa's three-year grant acceleration

Centa Antriebe Kirschey GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
