What this shows Woehner's Innovation Score is 33.1/100 (43rd 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 Woehner?

Each dot is one of Woehner’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). Woehner’s own 17.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Woehner's grants concentrate

Woehner GmbH & Co. KG Elektrotechnische Systeme is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Woehner sits between WiChorus, Inc. and Worldwide Integrated Resources, Inc..

Woehner's three-year grant acceleration

Woehner GmbH & Co. KG Elektrotechnische Systeme shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
