What this shows selfrag's Innovation Score is 29.4/100 (31st 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 selfrag?

Each dot is one of selfrag’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). selfrag’s own 27.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where selfrag's grants concentrate

selFrag AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B02C (Crushing, Pulverising, OR Disintegrating IN GENERAL; Milling Grain). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, selfrag sits between mSignia, Inc. and voestalpine Automotive Components Dettingen GmbH & Co. KG.

selfrag's three-year grant acceleration

selFrag 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.
