What this shows Keba's Innovation Score is 40.9/100 (top 34% 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 Keba?

Each dot is one of Keba’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). Keba’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Keba's grants concentrate

Keba AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 31 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G05B (Control OR Regulating Systems IN GENERAL; Functional Elements OF Such SYSTEMS; Monitoring OR Testing Arrangements FOR Such Systems OR Elements). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Keba sits between Johnson Controls Autobatterie GmbH & Co. KGaA and KLX Energy Services LLC.

Keba's three-year grant acceleration

Keba AG shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
