What this shows Hartin's Innovation Score is 55.4/100 (top 7% 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 Hartin?

Each dot is one of Hartin’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). Hartin’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hartin's grants concentrate

Hartin Electric Stiftung & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (14 grants) versus a trough of 5 in 2022. By volume, Hartin sits between Golfzon Co., Ltd. and Heraeus Electro-Nite International N.V..

Hartin's three-year grant acceleration

Hartin Electric Stiftung & Co. KG shows 25 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
