What this shows Pma/tools's Innovation Score is 48.0/100 (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 Pma/tools?

Each dot is one of Pma/tools’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). Pma/tools’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Pma/tools's grants concentrate

PMA/TOOLS GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under C03C (Chemical Composition OF Glasses, Glazes OR Vitreous ENAMELS; Surface Treatment OF GLASS; Surface Treatment OF Fibres OR Filaments Made From Glass, Minerals OR SLAGS; Joining Glass TO Glass OR Other MA). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Pma/tools sits between Plus-plus A/S and Pollen, Inc..

Pma/tools's three-year grant acceleration

PMA/TOOLS GMBH shows 3 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.
