What this shows Hoerbiger's Innovation Score is 36.6/100 (top 46% 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 Hoerbiger?

Each dot is one of Hoerbiger’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). Hoerbiger’s own 14.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Hoerbiger's grants concentrate

Hoerbiger Antriebstechnik Holding GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Hoerbiger sits between Hamilton Medical AG and Istanbul Teknik Universitesi.

Hoerbiger's three-year grant acceleration

Hoerbiger Antriebstechnik Holding GmbH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
