What this shows Rothenberger's Innovation Score is 35.7/100 (top 49% 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 Rothenberger?

Each dot is one of Rothenberger’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). Rothenberger’s own 13.3 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 Rothenberger's grants concentrate

Rothenberger AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 35.3% of grants classified under B25B (Tools OR Bench Devices NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, FOR Fastening, Connecting, Disengaging OR Holding). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Rothenberger sits between RMO, Inc. and Reliance Medical Products.

Rothenberger's three-year grant acceleration

Rothenberger AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
