Does more volume mean deeper claims for Herbert?

Each dot is one of Herbert’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). Herbert’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Herbert's grants concentrate

Herbert Kannegiesser GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under D06F (Laundering, Drying, Ironing, Pressing OR Folding Textile Articles). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Herbert sits between Hawe Hydraulik SE and Ixblue.

Herbert's three-year grant acceleration

Herbert Kannegiesser GmbH shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
