What this shows thyssenkrupp's Innovation Score is 39.8/100 (top 37% 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 15.7 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where thyssenkrupp's grants concentrate

thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, thyssenkrupp sits between i-Lumen Scientific, Inc. and ADA Foundation.

thyssenkrupp's three-year grant acceleration

thyssenkrupp Marine Systems GmbH shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
