What this shows Deutz's Innovation Score is 55.9/100 (top 6% 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 Deutz?

Each dot is one of Deutz’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). Deutz’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Deutz's grants concentrate

Deutz Aktiengesellschaft is a focused PatentsView assignee: 27 CPC subclasses with 45.2% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Deutz sits between Curis, Inc. and Durect Corporation.

Deutz's three-year grant acceleration

Deutz Aktiengesellschaft shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
