What this shows Umfotec's Innovation Score is 40.2/100 (top 36% 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 Umfotec?

Each dot is one of Umfotec’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). Umfotec’s own 12.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Umfotec's grants concentrate

Umfotec GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under F02M (Supplying Combustion Engines IN General With Combustible Mixtures OR Constituents Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Umfotec sits between Upstart Power, Inc. and United Tactical Systems, LLC.

Umfotec's three-year grant acceleration

Umfotec GmbH shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
