What this shows Roof's Innovation Score is 37.1/100 (top 44% 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 Roof?

Each dot is one of Roof’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). Roof’s own 14.9 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Roof's grants concentrate

Roof Systems Germany GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under B60J (Windows, Windscreens, Non-fixed Roofs, Doors, OR Similar Devices FOR VEHICLES; Removable External Protective Coverings Specially Adapted FOR Vehicles). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Roof sits between Rheem Australia PTY Limited and Salvagnini Italia S.P.A..

Roof's three-year grant acceleration

Roof Systems Germany GmbH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
