What this shows Mate's Innovation Score is 40.4/100 (top 36% 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 Mate?

Each dot is one of Mate’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). Mate’s own 26.3 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 Mate's grants concentrate

Mate GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under E04D (Roof COVERINGS; SKY-LIGHTS; GUTTERS; Roof-working Tools). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Mate sits between Marshall Electric Corp. and Maxst Co., Ltd..

Mate's three-year grant acceleration

Mate GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
