What this shows Maag's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 Maag?

Each dot is one of Maag’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). Maag’s own 11.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Maag's grants concentrate

Maag Automatik GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under B29B (Preparation OR Pretreatment OF THE Material TO BE SHAPED; Making Granules OR PREFORMS; Recovery OF Plastics OR Other Constituents OF Waste Material Containing Plastics). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Maag sits between Lucira Health, Inc. and Marchesan Implementos E MÁQUINAS Agricolas Tatu S.A..

Maag's three-year grant acceleration

Maag Automatik GMBH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
