What this shows Kraussmaffei's Innovation Score is 52.0/100 (top 11% 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 Kraussmaffei?

Each dot is one of Kraussmaffei’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). Kraussmaffei’s own 13.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kraussmaffei's grants concentrate

Kraussmaffei Technologies GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 86.7% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Kraussmaffei sits between Joyson Safety Systems Japan G.K. and Lunar Energy, Inc..

Kraussmaffei's three-year grant acceleration

Kraussmaffei Technologies GMBH shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
