What this shows Körber's Innovation Score is 45.2/100 (top 24% 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 Körber?

Each dot is one of Körber’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). Körber’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Körber's grants concentrate

KÖRBER Supply Chain Logistics GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B07C (Postal SORTING; Sorting Individual Articles, OR Bulk Material FIT TO BE Sorted Piece-meal, e.g. BY Picking). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Körber sits between Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and L-acoustics.

Körber's three-year grant acceleration

KÖRBER Supply Chain Logistics GMBH shows 4 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.
