What this shows Lapmaster's Innovation Score is 46.6/100 (top 20% 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 Lapmaster?

Each dot is one of Lapmaster’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). Lapmaster’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lapmaster's grants concentrate

Lapmaster Wolters GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B21D (Working OR Processing OF Sheet Metal OR Metal Tubes, Rods OR Profiles Without Essentially Removing MATERIAL; Punching Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Lapmaster sits between Lakeside Software, LLC and Leonardi Manufacturing Co., Inc..

Lapmaster's three-year grant acceleration

Lapmaster Wolters GmbH shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
