What this shows F.'s Innovation Score is 35.3/100 (top 50% 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 F.?

Each dot is one of F.’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). F.’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where F.'s grants concentrate

F. Holzer GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, F. sits between Expro Americas, LLC and Faac S.P.A..

F.'s three-year grant acceleration

F. Holzer GmbH 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.
