What this shows PVA's Innovation Score is 28.3/100 (27th 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 PVA?

Each dot is one of PVA’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). PVA’s own 12.6 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where PVA's grants concentrate

PVA Tepla AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under C30B (Single-crystal Growth ; Unidirectional Solidification OF Eutectic Material OR Unidirectional Demixing OF Eutectoid MATERIAL; Refining BY Zone-melting OF Material ; Production OF A Homogeneous Polycrys). By volume, PVA sits between Puget Sound Blood Center and Pacific Berry Breeding.

PVA's three-year grant acceleration

PVA Tepla 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.
