What this shows Geobrugg's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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 Geobrugg?

Each dot is one of Geobrugg’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). Geobrugg’s own 15.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Geobrugg's grants concentrate

Geobrugg AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under B21F (Working OR Processing OF Metal Wire). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Geobrugg sits between Ganeden Biotech, Inc. and Haas Food Equipment GMBH.

Geobrugg's three-year grant acceleration

Geobrugg AG shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
