What this shows Knauf's Innovation Score is 62.0/100 (top 3% 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 Knauf?

Each dot is one of Knauf’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). Knauf’s own 25.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Knauf's grants concentrate

Knauf Insulation Sprl is a focused PatentsView assignee: 33 CPC subclasses with 51.8% of grants classified under C08L (Compositions OF Macromolecular Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (10 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2017. By volume, Knauf sits between Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP and Longitude Semiconductor S.a.r.l..

Knauf's three-year grant acceleration

Knauf Insulation Sprl shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
