What this shows Eberspächer's Innovation Score is 50.5/100 (top 13% 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 Eberspächer?

Each dot is one of Eberspächer’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). Eberspächer’s own 14.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Eberspächer's grants concentrate

Eberspächer Catem GmbH & Co. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under H05B (Electric HEATING; Electric Light Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Circuit Arrangements FOR Electric Light Sources, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Eberspächer sits between Dongguan University of Technology and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center.

Eberspächer's three-year grant acceleration

Eberspächer Catem GmbH & Co. shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
