What this shows Kuhn's Innovation Score is 32.5/100 (41st 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 Kuhn?

Each dot is one of Kuhn’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). Kuhn’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kuhn's grants concentrate

Kuhn North America, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 30.4% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Kuhn sits between Joovv, Inc. and Kinetic Technologies International Holdings LP.

Kuhn's three-year grant acceleration

Kuhn North America, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
