What this shows Invent's Innovation Score is 49.0/100 (top 15% 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 Invent?

Each dot is one of Invent’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). Invent’s own 11.1 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Invent's grants concentrate

Invent Umwelt-und Verfahrenstechnik AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 72.2% of grants classified under B01F (Mixing, e.g. Dissolving, Emulsifying OR Dispersing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Invent sits between Innoscience (SUZHOU) Semiconductor Co., Ltd. and Imprint Energy, Inc..

Invent's three-year grant acceleration

Invent Umwelt-und Verfahrenstechnik AG shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
