What this shows Mapa's Innovation Score is 25.4/100 (17th 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 Mapa?

Each dot is one of Mapa’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). Mapa’s own 5.0 claims/patent is at or below the 9.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mapa's grants concentrate

Mapa GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 15.2% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Mapa sits between Ledlenser GMBH & Co. KG and Metawater Co., Ltd..

Mapa's three-year grant acceleration

Mapa GMBH shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
