Does more volume mean deeper claims for Anchor?

Each dot is one of Anchor’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). Anchor’s own 3.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Anchor's grants concentrate

Anchor Hocking, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 7.5% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Anchor sits between 2266170 Ontario Inc. and Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc..

Anchor's three-year grant acceleration

Anchor Hocking, LLC shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
