What this shows IAV's Innovation Score is 38.2/100 (top 41% 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 IAV?

Each dot is one of IAV’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). IAV’s own 8.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where IAV's grants concentrate

IAV GmbH Ingenieurgesellschaft Auto und Verkehr is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under Y02T (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Transportation). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, IAV sits between Holland, L.P. and Imiracle (HK) Limited.

IAV's three-year grant acceleration

IAV GmbH Ingenieurgesellschaft Auto und Verkehr shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
