What this shows Mhwirth's Innovation Score is 34.3/100 (47th 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 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 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mhwirth's grants concentrate

Mhwirth GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 36.4% of grants classified under B66D (CAPSTANS; WINCHES; Tackles, e.g. Pulley BLOCKS; Hoists). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Mhwirth sits between Meggitt Aerospace Limited and Microlink Devices, Inc..

Mhwirth's three-year grant acceleration

Mhwirth GMBH shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
