What this shows Türk's Innovation Score is 36.8/100 (top 45% 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 Türk?

Each dot is one of Türk’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). Türk’s own 15.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Türk's grants concentrate

TÜRK & Hillinger GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 78.6% 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 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Türk sits between Teikoku Pharma USA, Inc. and Usablenet Inc..

Türk's three-year grant acceleration

TÜRK & Hillinger GMBH shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
