What this shows Schuler's Innovation Score is 48.6/100 (top 16% 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 Schuler?

Each dot is one of Schuler’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). Schuler’s own 14.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Schuler's grants concentrate

Schuler Pressen GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 43.9% of grants classified under B21D (Working OR Processing OF Sheet Metal OR Metal Tubes, Rods OR Profiles Without Essentially Removing MATERIAL; Punching Metal). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Schuler sits between Quantenna Communications, Inc. and THE University OF Western Ontario.

Schuler's three-year grant acceleration

Schuler Pressen GMBH shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
