What this shows Miba's Innovation Score is 45.8/100 (top 22% 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 Miba?

Each dot is one of Miba’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). Miba’s own 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Miba's grants concentrate

Miba Sinter Austria GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 37.3% of grants classified under B22F (Working Metallic POWDER; Manufacture OF Articles From Metallic POWDER; Making Metallic Powder ; Apparatus OR Devices Specially Adapted FOR Metallic Powder). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (9 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2017. By volume, Miba sits between Mitek Holdings, Inc. and Nissin Foods Holdings Co., Ltd..

Miba's three-year grant acceleration

Miba Sinter Austria GmbH shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
