What this shows Rotho's Innovation Score is 25.4/100 (17th 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 Rotho?

Each dot is one of Rotho’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). Rotho’s own 8.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Rotho's grants concentrate

Rotho Kunststoff AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under B65F (Gathering OR Removal OF Domestic OR Like Refuse). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Rotho sits between Rokfin, Inc. and Roxilla LLC.

Rotho's three-year grant acceleration

Rotho Kunststoff AG shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
