What this shows Wiha's Innovation Score is 15.5/100 (3rd percentile 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 Wiha?

Each dot is one of Wiha’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). Wiha’s own 3.0 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wiha's grants concentrate

Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 12.5% of grants classified under B25B (Tools OR Bench Devices NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, FOR Fastening, Connecting, Disengaging OR Holding). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Wiha sits between Western Industries, Inc. and Winchester Interconnect Corporation.

Wiha's three-year grant acceleration

Wiha Werkzeuge GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
