Does more volume mean deeper claims for Allbirds?
Each dot is one of Allbirds’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). Allbirds’s own 4.3 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 Allbirds's grants concentrate
Allbirds, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 17.9% of grants classified under A43B (Characteristic Features OF FOOTWEAR; Parts OF Footwear). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Allbirds sits between A.K. Stamping Company, Inc. and Applejack 199 L.P..
Allbirds's three-year grant acceleration
Allbirds, Inc. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
