What this shows Hekuma's Innovation Score is 29.8/100 (32nd 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 Hekuma?

Each dot is one of Hekuma’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). Hekuma’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hekuma's grants concentrate

Hekuma GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% 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 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Hekuma sits between Hedinn HF and Helmer, Inc..

Hekuma's three-year grant acceleration

Hekuma GMBH shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
