What this shows Cortec's Innovation Score is 39.6/100 (top 38% 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 Cortec?

Each dot is one of Cortec’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). Cortec’s own 12.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cortec's grants concentrate

CorTec GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 54.2% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Cortec sits between Cerion, LLC and Cyclerion Therapeutics, Inc..

Cortec's three-year grant acceleration

CorTec GmbH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
