What this shows Liebherr-mining's Innovation Score is 41.3/100 (top 34% 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 Liebherr-mining?

Each dot is one of Liebherr-mining’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). Liebherr-mining’s own 15.5 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Liebherr-mining's grants concentrate

Liebherr-mining Equipment Colmar SAS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under E02F (DREDGING; Soil-shifting). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Liebherr-mining sits between Legic Identsystems AG and Livio, Inc..

Liebherr-mining's three-year grant acceleration

Liebherr-mining Equipment Colmar SAS shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
