What this shows Still's Innovation Score is 45.9/100 (top 22% 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 Still?

Each dot is one of Still’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). Still’s own 10.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Still's grants concentrate

Still GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B66F (Hoisting, Lifting, Hauling OR Pushing, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Devices Which Apply A Lifting OR Pushing Force Directly TO THE Surface OF A Load). By volume, Still sits between Stek Co., Ltd. and STP North America LLC.

Still's three-year grant acceleration

Still GmbH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
