What this shows IBS's Innovation Score is 30.7/100 (35th 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 IBS?

Each dot is one of IBS’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). IBS’s own 11.3 claims/patent is at or below the 11.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where IBS's grants concentrate

IBS Filtran KUNSTSTOFF-/METALLERZEUGNISSE GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under B01D (Separation). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, IBS sits between Häfele Berlin GmbH & Co KG and Ideaya Biosciences, Inc..

IBS's three-year grant acceleration

IBS Filtran KUNSTSTOFF-/METALLERZEUGNISSE GMBH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
