What this shows Geberit's Innovation Score is 54.0/100 (top 8% 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 Geberit?

Each dot is one of Geberit’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). Geberit’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Geberit's grants concentrate

Geberit International AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 51.3% of grants classified under E03C (Domestic Plumbing Installations FOR Fresh Water OR Waste Water ; Sinks). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Geberit sits between Flexera Software LLC and GW Pharma Ltd..

Geberit's three-year grant acceleration

Geberit International AG shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
