What this shows Fluehs's Innovation Score is 27.4/100 (24th 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 Fluehs?

Each dot is one of Fluehs’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). Fluehs’s own 10.8 claims/patent is at or below the 12.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Fluehs's grants concentrate

Fluehs Drehtechnik GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Fluehs sits between FloSpine, LLC and Fontaine Commercial Trailer, Inc..

Fluehs's three-year grant acceleration

Fluehs Drehtechnik GmbH shows 2 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.
