What this shows mb-microtec's Innovation Score is 58.3/100 (top 5% 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 mb-microtec?

Each dot is one of mb-microtec’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). mb-microtec’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where mb-microtec's grants concentrate

mb-microtec ag is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under G21H (Obtaining Energy From Radioactive SOURCES; Applications OF Radiation From Radioactive Sources, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Utilising Cosmic Radiation). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, mb-microtec sits between iFixit and 1globe Biomedical Co., Ltd..

mb-microtec's three-year grant acceleration

mb-microtec ag shows 5 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.
