What this shows Woco's Innovation Score is 44.7/100 (top 25% 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 Woco?

Each dot is one of Woco’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). Woco’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Woco's grants concentrate

Woco Industrietechnik GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Woco sits between West Coast Chain MFG. Co. and Waterblasting, LLC.

Woco's three-year grant acceleration

Woco Industrietechnik GmbH shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
