What this shows Uhlmann's Innovation Score is 42.8/100 (top 30% 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 Uhlmann?

Each dot is one of Uhlmann’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). Uhlmann’s own 13.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Uhlmann's grants concentrate

Uhlmann Pac-systeme GMBH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 77.5% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Uhlmann sits between Tiger Tool International Incorporated and Unomedical A/S.

Uhlmann's three-year grant acceleration

Uhlmann Pac-systeme GMBH & Co. KG shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
