What this shows Rhefor's Innovation Score is 31.3/100 (37th 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 Rhefor?

Each dot is one of Rhefor’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). Rhefor’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Rhefor's grants concentrate

Rhefor GbR is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under H01F (MAGNETS; INDUCTANCES; TRANSFORMERS; Selection OF Materials FOR Their Magnetic Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Rhefor sits between RF Ideas, Inc. and Rigol Technologies Co., Ltd..

Rhefor's three-year grant acceleration

Rhefor GbR shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
