What this shows Institut's Innovation Score is 43.2/100 (top 29% 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 Institut?

Each dot is one of Institut’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). Institut’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Institut's grants concentrate

Institut Fur Rundfunktechnik GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 35.3% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Institut sits between Innoflora Plant Breeding B.V. and Koch Agronomic Services, LLC.

Institut's three-year grant acceleration

Institut Fur Rundfunktechnik GMBH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
