Does more volume mean deeper claims for 4topps?

Each dot is one of 4topps’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). 4topps’s own 4.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 4topps's grants concentrate

4Topps LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 12.5% of grants classified under E04H (Buildings OR Like Structures FOR Particular PURPOSES; Swimming OR Splash Baths OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; Tents OR Canopies, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, 4topps sits between 360 Knee Systems Pty Ltd. and 9252-8595 QUÉBEC Inc..

4topps's three-year grant acceleration

4Topps LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
