What this shows R.'s Innovation Score is 63.9/100 (top 2% 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 R.?

Each dot is one of R.’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). R.’s own 13.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where R.'s grants concentrate

R. Stahl SCHALTGERÄTE GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 39 CPC subclasses with 43.4% of grants classified under H02B (Boards, Substations OR Switching Arrangements FOR THE Supply OR Distribution OF Electric Power). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, R. sits between Polyplastics Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Yinglaifa Technology Co., Ltd..

R.'s three-year grant acceleration

R. Stahl SCHALTGERÄTE GMBH shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
