What this shows Washtech's Innovation Score is 43.4/100 (top 28% 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 Washtech?

Each dot is one of Washtech’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). Washtech’s own 15.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Washtech's grants concentrate

Washtech Holding GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under B60S (Servicing, Cleaning, Repairing, Supporting, Lifting, OR Manoeuvring OF Vehicles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Washtech sits between Vesuvius Group, S.A. and Wiab Water Innovation AB.

Washtech's three-year grant acceleration

Washtech Holding GmbH shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
