What this shows Progress's Innovation Score is 35.9/100 (top 48% 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 Progress?

Each dot is one of Progress’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). Progress’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Progress's grants concentrate

Progress Maschinen & Automation AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under Y02P (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies IN THE Production OR Processing OF Goods). By volume, Progress sits between PRO Limb International Corp. and Promau S.R.L..

Progress's three-year grant acceleration

Progress Maschinen & Automation AG shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
