What this shows thyssenkrupp's Innovation Score is 64.8/100 (top 1% 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 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 16.8 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 Uhde GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 43 CPC subclasses with 35.7% of grants classified under Y02P (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies IN THE Production OR Processing OF Goods). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, thyssenkrupp sits between ZenPayroll, Inc. and Ashimori Industry Co., Ltd..

thyssenkrupp's three-year grant acceleration

thyssenkrupp Uhde GmbH shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
