What this shows Meyer's Innovation Score is 42.8/100 (top 30% 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 Meyer?

Each dot is one of Meyer’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). Meyer’s own 15.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Meyer's grants concentrate

Meyer Burger (GERMANY) GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under H10F (Inorganic Semiconductor Devices Sensitive TO Infrared Radiation, Light, Electromagnetic Radiation OF Shorter Wavelength OR Corpuscular Radiation). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Meyer sits between Mercer University and MIN Hsiang Corporation.

Meyer's three-year grant acceleration

Meyer Burger (GERMANY) GMBH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
