What this shows Flottweg's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 Flottweg?

Each dot is one of Flottweg’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). Flottweg’s own 11.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Flottweg's grants concentrate

Flottweg SE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B04B (Centrifuges). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Flottweg sits between Flash Seats, LLC and Freshworks Inc..

Flottweg's three-year grant acceleration

Flottweg SE shows 9 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.
