What this shows Optrel's Innovation Score is 32.0/100 (40th 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 Optrel?

Each dot is one of Optrel’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). Optrel’s own 14.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Optrel's grants concentrate

Optrel Holding AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Optrel sits between OpenExchange, Inc. and Oree Advanced Illumination Solutions Ltd..

Optrel's three-year grant acceleration

Optrel Holding AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
