What this shows GEA's Innovation Score is 32.7/100 (42nd 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.

Where GEA's grants concentrate

GEA Procomac S.p.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 57.9% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, GEA sits between Fukuoka University and Globalwafers Japan Co., Ltd..

GEA's three-year grant acceleration

GEA Procomac S.p.A. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
