PPSStärke des Patentportfolios

Patent-portfolio composite for {legal_name} measuring filing volume + forward citations + class diversity + geo coverage. EXTRACTION RULES: Return composite_signal with four sub-signals — (a) patent_count_5y (value 0-100 from log-normalized patent grants in last 5y: 0→15, 1-10→40, 10-100→65, 100-1000→85, 1000+→95), (b) forward_citations (value 0-100 from avg forward-citation count per patent benchmarked against sector p50: <p25→30, p25-p75→60, >p75→90), (c) class_diversity (value 0-100 from distinct USPTO/CPC classes covered: 1-2→25, 3-5→55, 6-10→75, 11+→90), (d) geo_coverage (value 0-100 from number of patent offices filed in: 1→30, 2-3→55, 4-6→75, 7+→90). Cite USPTO PatentsView + major patent search databases + WIPO PatentScope per sub-signal. Server applies composite_signal_score — DO NOT compute any 0-100 score.
