What this shows CTC's Innovation Score is 37.8/100 (top 42% 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 CTC?

Each dot is one of CTC’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). CTC’s own 12.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where CTC's grants concentrate

CTC Analytics AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, CTC sits between Crrc Qiqihar Rolling Stock Co., Ltd. and Curbside Inc..

CTC's three-year grant acceleration

CTC Analytics AG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
