What this shows Polycontact's Innovation Score is 37.9/100 (top 42% 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 Polycontact?

Each dot is one of Polycontact’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). Polycontact’s own 18.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Polycontact's grants concentrate

Polycontact AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B60R (Vehicles, Vehicle Fittings, OR Vehicle Parts, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Polycontact sits between Poli-Model S.R.L. and Porta-Fab Corporation.

Polycontact's three-year grant acceleration

Polycontact AG shows 1 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.
