What this shows Gemü's Innovation Score is 33.0/100 (43rd 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 Gemü?

Each dot is one of Gemü’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). Gemü’s own 11.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gemü's grants concentrate

GEMÜ Gebr. Müller Apparatebau GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Gemü sits between Frost Buddy LLC and Github, Inc..

Gemü's three-year grant acceleration

GEMÜ Gebr. Müller Apparatebau GmbH & Co. Kommanditgesellschaft shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
