What this shows Tente's Innovation Score is 37.4/100 (top 44% 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 Tente?

Each dot is one of Tente’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). Tente’s own 12.4 claims/patent is at or below the 12.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Tente's grants concentrate

Tente GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under B60B (Vehicle Wheels ; CASTORS; Axles FOR Wheels OR CASTORS; Increasing Wheel Adhesion). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Tente sits between Teijin Chemicals Limited and Texecom Limited.

Tente's three-year grant acceleration

Tente GmbH & Co. KG shows 2 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.
