What this shows Fill's Innovation Score is 48.1/100 (top 17% 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 Fill?

Each dot is one of Fill’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). Fill’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fill's grants concentrate

Fill Gesellschaft m.b.H. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under B22D (Casting OF METALS; Casting OF Other Substances BY THE Same Processes OR Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Fill sits between Faurecia IRYStec Inc. and Flexopack S.A.

Fill's three-year grant acceleration

Fill Gesellschaft m.b.H. shows 6 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.
