What this shows QBO's Innovation Score is 29.1/100 (29th 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 QBO?

Each dot is one of QBO’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). QBO’s own 13.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where QBO's grants concentrate

QBO Coffee GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 96.2% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, QBO sits between Poynt LLC and Rapid Medical Ltd..

QBO's three-year grant acceleration

QBO Coffee GMBH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
