What this shows Kittrich's Innovation Score is 33.1/100 (43rd 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 Kittrich?

Each dot is one of Kittrich’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). Kittrich’s own 8.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kittrich's grants concentrate

Kittrich Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 29.4% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Kittrich sits between KiOR, LLC and L3 Cincinnati Electronics Corporation.

Kittrich's three-year grant acceleration

Kittrich Corporation shows 1 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.
