What this shows Erich's Innovation Score is 35.8/100 (top 48% 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 Erich?

Each dot is one of Erich’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). Erich’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Erich's grants concentrate

Erich Jaeger GMBH + Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Erich sits between ENN Science AND Technology Development Co., Ltd and Espros Photonics AG.

Erich's three-year grant acceleration

Erich Jaeger GMBH + Co. KG shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
