What this shows Hans's Innovation Score is 38.7/100 (top 40% 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 Hans?

Each dot is one of Hans’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). Hans’s own 14.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hans's grants concentrate

Hans Heidolph GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 46.7% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Hans sits between Hampidjan hf. and Hecktech, Inc..

Hans's three-year grant acceleration

Hans Heidolph GmbH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
