What this shows Mhwirth's Innovation Score is 39.8/100 (top 37% 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 Mhwirth?

Each dot is one of Mhwirth’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). Mhwirth’s own 15.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Mhwirth's grants concentrate

Mhwirth AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 91.7% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Mhwirth sits between Mafi Group AB and Molecular Rebar Design, LLC.

Mhwirth's three-year grant acceleration

Mhwirth AS shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
