What this shows Ergon's Innovation Score is 44.7/100 (top 25% 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 Ergon?

Each dot is one of Ergon’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). Ergon’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ergon's grants concentrate

Ergon International GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B62J (Cycle Saddles OR SEATS; Auxiliary Devices OR Accessories Specially Adapted TO Cycles AND NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Article Carriers OR Cycle Protectors). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Ergon sits between Ensequence, Inc. and Essex Electronics.

Ergon's three-year grant acceleration

Ergon International GmbH shows 5 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.
