What this shows Holweg's Innovation Score is 26.0/100 (19th 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 Holweg?

Each dot is one of Holweg’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). Holweg’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Holweg's grants concentrate

Holweg Group is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under B31B (Making Containers OF Paper, Cardboard OR Material Worked IN A Manner Analogous TO Paper). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Holweg sits between Hogan Lovells International LLP and Hosokawa Alpine Aktiengesellschaft.

Holweg's three-year grant acceleration

Holweg Group shows 2 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.
