What this shows thyssenkrupp's Innovation Score is 42.0/100 (top 32% 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 thyssenkrupp?

Each dot is one of thyssenkrupp’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). thyssenkrupp’s own 15.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where thyssenkrupp's grants concentrate

thyssenkrupp Fertilizer Technology GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under C05C (Nitrogenous Fertilisers). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, thyssenkrupp sits between inFilm Optoelectronic Inc. and 100 Greetings, LLC.

thyssenkrupp's three-year grant acceleration

thyssenkrupp Fertilizer Technology GmbH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
