What this shows Limflow's Innovation Score is 39.3/100 (top 38% 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 Limflow?

Each dot is one of Limflow’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). Limflow’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Limflow's grants concentrate

LimFlow GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Limflow sits between LaserMotive, Inc. and M.E.P. Macchine Elettroniche Piegatrici S. P.A..

Limflow's three-year grant acceleration

LimFlow GmbH shows 9 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.
