What this shows Montblanc-simplo's Innovation Score is 26.3/100 (20th 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 Montblanc-simplo?

Each dot is one of Montblanc-simplo’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). Montblanc-simplo’s own 1.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Montblanc-simplo's grants concentrate

Montblanc-Simplo GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 5.3% of grants classified under B43K (Implements FOR Writing OR Drawing). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (28 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, Montblanc-simplo sits between Kuen Hwa Traffic Industrial Co., Ltd. and RB Distribution, Inc..

Montblanc-simplo's three-year grant acceleration

Montblanc-Simplo GmbH shows 2 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.
