What this shows Muhr's Innovation Score is 46.5/100 (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 Muhr?

Each dot is one of Muhr’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). Muhr’s own 14.4 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 Muhr's grants concentrate

Muhr UND Bender KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 30 CPC subclasses with 27.8% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Muhr sits between Mikro Systems, Inc. and Matsuura Machinery Corporation.

Muhr's three-year grant acceleration

Muhr UND Bender KG shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
