What this shows Colop's Innovation Score is 44.4/100 (top 26% 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 Colop?

Each dot is one of Colop’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). Colop’s own 13.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Colop's grants concentrate

Colop Digital GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B41J (TYPEWRITERS; Selective Printing Mechanisms, i.e. Mechanisms Printing Otherwise Than From A FORME; Correction OF Typographical Errors). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Colop sits between Cofco Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Compass Manufacturing International, LLC.

Colop's three-year grant acceleration

Colop Digital GMBH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
