What this shows Profilator's Innovation Score is 27.1/100 (22nd 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 Profilator?

Each dot is one of Profilator’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). Profilator’s own 10.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Profilator's grants concentrate

Profilator GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B23F (Making Gears OR Toothed Racks). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Profilator sits between Prezi, Inc. and Protomet Corporation.

Profilator's three-year grant acceleration

Profilator GmbH & Co. KG shows 3 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.
