What this shows Poly-clip's Innovation Score is 50.9/100 (top 12% 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 Poly-clip?

Each dot is one of Poly-clip’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). Poly-clip’s own 13.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Poly-clip's grants concentrate

Poly-clip System GMBH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 24 CPC subclasses with 85.2% of grants classified under A22C (Processing Meat, Poultry, OR Fish). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Poly-clip sits between National Oilwell DHT, L.P. and Phase Sensitive Innovations, Inc..

Poly-clip's three-year grant acceleration

Poly-clip System GMBH & Co. KG shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
