Does more volume mean deeper claims for Hirschvogel?
Each dot is one of Hirschvogel’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). Hirschvogel’s own 18.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Hirschvogel's grants concentrate
Hirschvogel Umformtechnik GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 30.8% of grants classified under B21K (Making Forged OR Pressed Metal Products, e.g. Horse-shoes, Rivets, Bolts OR Wheels). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Hirschvogel sits between Harex Infotech Inc. and HM.Clause, S.A.S..
Hirschvogel's three-year grant acceleration
Hirschvogel Umformtechnik GMBH shows 3 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.
