What this shows Schleifring's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 Schleifring?

Each dot is one of Schleifring’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). Schleifring’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Schleifring's grants concentrate

Schleifring GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Schleifring sits between Swep International AB and ShieldX Networks, Inc..

Schleifring's three-year grant acceleration

Schleifring GmbH shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
