What this shows Sportwelding's Innovation Score is 27.3/100 (23rd 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 Sportwelding?

Each dot is one of Sportwelding’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). Sportwelding’s own 14.3 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 Sportwelding's grants concentrate

Sportwelding GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Sportwelding sits between Skitter & Squirt Adventures, LLC and Stelia Aerospace.

Sportwelding's three-year grant acceleration

Sportwelding GMBH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
