What this shows Gurit's Innovation Score is 46.0/100 (top 22% 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 Gurit?

Each dot is one of Gurit’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). Gurit’s own 28.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gurit's grants concentrate

Gurit (UK) Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 74.1% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Gurit sits between Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University and Hydac Process Technology GMBH.

Gurit's three-year grant acceleration

Gurit (UK) Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
