What this shows Emhart's Innovation Score is 56.3/100 (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 Emhart?

Each dot is one of Emhart’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). Emhart’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Emhart's grants concentrate

Emhart Glass S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 80.8% of grants classified under C03B (Manufacture, Shaping, OR Supplementary Processes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Emhart sits between Empa Eidgenössische Materialprüfungs-und Forschungsanstalt and Estimote Polska Sp z o.o..

Emhart's three-year grant acceleration

Emhart Glass S.A. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
