What this shows Körber's Innovation Score is 57.0/100 (top 6% 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.

Where Körber's grants concentrate

KÖRBER Technologies GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 86.4% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (10 grants) versus a trough of 7 in 2024. By volume, Körber sits between Kinnos Inc. and Leadway (HK) Limited.

Körber's three-year grant acceleration

KÖRBER Technologies GMBH shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
