What this shows Gebr.'s Innovation Score is 32.5/100 (41st 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 Gebr.?

Each dot is one of Gebr.’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). Gebr.’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Gebr.'s grants concentrate

Gebr. Kemper GmbH + Co. KG Metallwerke is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under E03B (Installations OR Methods FOR Obtaining, Collecting, OR Distributing Water). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Gebr. sits between Gardyn Inc. and Gentuity, LLC.

Gebr.'s three-year grant acceleration

Gebr. Kemper GmbH + Co. KG Metallwerke shows 3 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.
