What this shows Johannes's Innovation Score is 44.1/100 (top 26% 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 Johannes?

Each dot is one of Johannes’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). Johannes’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Johannes's grants concentrate

Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 82.5% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Johannes sits between Ivani, LLC and Kuhn S.A..

Johannes's three-year grant acceleration

Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz shows 5 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.
