What this shows Stego-holding's Innovation Score is 50.1/100 (top 14% 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 Stego-holding?

Each dot is one of Stego-holding’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). Stego-holding’s own 5.4 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Stego-holding's grants concentrate

Stego-holding GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 11.8% of grants classified under H05B (Electric HEATING; Electric Light Sources NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Circuit Arrangements FOR Electric Light Sources, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Stego-holding sits between Shimano Components (MALAYSIA) SDN. BHD. and Sakata Seed America, Inc..

Stego-holding's three-year grant acceleration

Stego-holding GMBH shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
