What this shows Felss's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (20th percentile 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 Felss?

Each dot is one of Felss’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). Felss’s own 11.7 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 Felss's grants concentrate

Felss Systems GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under B21J (FORGING; HAMMERING; Pressing METAL; RIVETING; Forge Furnaces). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Felss sits between Fbgs Technologies GMBH and Ferretti S.P.A..

Felss's three-year grant acceleration

Felss Systems GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
