What this shows Franz's Innovation Score is 45.1/100 (top 24% 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 Franz?

Each dot is one of Franz’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). Franz’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Franz's grants concentrate

Franz Haimer Maschinenbau KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 71.9% of grants classified under B23B (TURNING; Boring). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Franz sits between Face International Corporaton and Ipgate AG.

Franz's three-year grant acceleration

Franz Haimer Maschinenbau KG shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
