What this shows Gemu's Innovation Score is 26.5/100 (21st 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 Gemu?

Each dot is one of Gemu’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). Gemu’s own 8.3 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Gemu's grants concentrate

Gemu Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau GmbH & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 63.6% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Gemu sits between GBS Holdings LLC and GFL S.A..

Gemu's three-year grant acceleration

Gemu Gebr. Mueller Apparatebau GmbH & Co. Kommanditsgesellschaft shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
