What this shows Lemken's Innovation Score is 33.0/100 (43rd 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 Lemken?

Each dot is one of Lemken’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). Lemken’s own 12.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lemken's grants concentrate

Lemken GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under A01B (Soil Working IN Agriculture OR FORESTRY; Parts, Details, OR Accessories OF Agricultural Machines OR Implements, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Lemken sits between Kraton Corporation and London Health Sciences Centre Research Inc..

Lemken's three-year grant acceleration

Lemken GmbH & Co. KG shows 3 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.
