What this shows Steiner's Innovation Score is 35.7/100 (top 48% 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 Steiner?

Each dot is one of Steiner’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). Steiner’s own 16.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Steiner's grants concentrate

Steiner AG Weggis is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Steiner sits between Sport Diversions Inc. and Strix Limited.

Steiner's three-year grant acceleration

Steiner AG Weggis shows 6 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.
