What this shows Contitech's Innovation Score is 34.9/100 (49th 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 Contitech?

Each dot is one of Contitech’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). Contitech’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Contitech's grants concentrate

ContiTech Vibration Control GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 64.7% of grants classified under F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; Means FOR Damping Vibration). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Contitech sits between College of William & Mary and Creganna Unlimited Company.

Contitech's three-year grant acceleration

ContiTech Vibration Control GmbH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
