What this shows Schott's Innovation Score is 51.5/100 (top 11% 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 Schott?

Each dot is one of Schott’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). Schott’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Schott's grants concentrate

Schott Schweiz AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under A61J (Containers Specially Adapted FOR Medical OR Pharmaceutical PURPOSES; Devices OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Bringing Pharmaceutical Products Into Particular Physical OR Administering FORMS; Devices ). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Schott sits between Royalty Bugaboo GmbH and Shaw & Sons, Inc..

Schott's three-year grant acceleration

Schott Schweiz AG shows 13 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.
