What this shows Huber's Innovation Score is 31.2/100 (37th 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 Huber?

Each dot is one of Huber’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). Huber’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Huber's grants concentrate

Huber SE is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Huber sits between Houghton Technical Corp. and Hydac Electronic GmbH.

Huber's three-year grant acceleration

Huber SE shows 1 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.
