What this shows Thyssenkrupp's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 13.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 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 Rothe Erde GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under F16C (SHAFTS; Flexible SHAFTS; Elements OR Crankshaft MECHANISMS; Rotary Bodies Other Than Gearing ELEMENTS; Bearings). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Thyssenkrupp sits between Tesa SA and Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc..

Thyssenkrupp's three-year grant acceleration

Thyssenkrupp Rothe Erde GMBH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
