What this shows Küster's Innovation Score is 32.6/100 (42nd 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 Küster?

Each dot is one of Küster’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). Küster’s own 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Küster's grants concentrate

Küster Holding GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Küster sits between Kore Outdoor (US), Inc. and Laboratoires Thea.

Küster's three-year grant acceleration

Küster Holding GmbH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
