What this shows Liebherr-werk's Innovation Score is 47.6/100 (top 18% 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-werk?

Each dot is one of Liebherr-werk’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-werk’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Liebherr-werk's grants concentrate

Liebherr-werk Nenzing GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 56.4% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2021. By volume, Liebherr-werk sits between Korea University OF Technology AND Education Industry-university Cooperation Foundation and Microport Orthopedics Holdings, Inc..

Liebherr-werk's three-year grant acceleration

Liebherr-werk Nenzing GMBH shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
