Does more volume mean deeper claims for 360?

Each dot is one of 360’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). 360’s own 16.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where 360's grants concentrate

360 Yield Center, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 60.6% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 360 sits between Zhuhai Seine Technology Co., Ltd. and Advanced Technology & Materials Co., Ltd..

360's three-year grant acceleration

360 Yield Center, LLC shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
