What this shows Pinion's Innovation Score is 48.3/100 (top 17% 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 Pinion?

Each dot is one of Pinion’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). Pinion’s own 15.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Pinion's grants concentrate

Pinion GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B62M (Rider Propulsion OF Wheeled Vehicles OR SLEDGES; Powered Propulsion OF Sledges OR ; SINGLE-TRACK; CYCLES; Transmissions Specially Adapted FOR Such Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Pinion sits between PharmaJet Inc. and Plethora Corporation.

Pinion's three-year grant acceleration

Pinion GmbH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
