What this shows Kba-notasys's Innovation Score is 46.1/100 (top 22% 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 Kba-notasys?

Each dot is one of Kba-notasys’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). Kba-notasys’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kba-notasys's grants concentrate

Kba-notasys SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 73.2% of grants classified under B41F (Printing Machines OR Presses). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Kba-notasys sits between Invisage Technologies, Inc. and LF Centennial Ltd..

Kba-notasys's three-year grant acceleration

Kba-notasys SA shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
