What this shows MS's Innovation Score is 46.6/100 (top 20% 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 MS?

Each dot is one of MS’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). MS’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where MS's grants concentrate

MS Ultraschall Technologie GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, MS sits between MP Acquisition, LLC and Msmh, LLC.

MS's three-year grant acceleration

MS Ultraschall Technologie GmbH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
