What this shows Rehau's Innovation Score is 40.9/100 (top 34% 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 Rehau?

Each dot is one of Rehau’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). Rehau’s own 12.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Rehau's grants concentrate

Rehau AG + Co. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 44% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Rehau sits between Roambee Corporation and Rinnai America Corporation.

Rehau's three-year grant acceleration

Rehau AG + Co. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
