What this shows Schaffner's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Schaffner?

Each dot is one of Schaffner’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). Schaffner’s own 15.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Schaffner's grants concentrate

Schaffner EMV AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under H03H (Impedance Networks, e.g. Resonant CIRCUITS; Resonators). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Schaffner sits between Sancal Diseño, S.L. and Semprius, Inc..

Schaffner's three-year grant acceleration

Schaffner EMV AG shows 6 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.
