What this shows Leibniz-institut's Innovation Score is 51.4/100 (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 Leibniz-institut?

Each dot is one of Leibniz-institut’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). Leibniz-institut’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Leibniz-institut's grants concentrate

Leibniz-Institut für Neue Materialien gemeinnützige GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 48 CPC subclasses with 28% of grants classified under C08K (Use of inorganic or non-macromolecular organic substances as compounding ingredients). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Leibniz-institut sits between Louisiana Tech Research Corporation and London Johnson, Inc..

Leibniz-institut's three-year grant acceleration

Leibniz-Institut für Neue Materialien gemeinnützige GmbH shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
