What this shows Georg's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Georg?

Each dot is one of Georg’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). Georg’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Georg's grants concentrate

Georg Fischer Wavin AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Georg sits between Geo-comm, Inc. and Gevoto LLC.

Georg's three-year grant acceleration

Georg Fischer Wavin AG shows 1 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.
