Does more volume mean deeper claims for Assa?

Each dot is one of Assa’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). Assa’s own 8.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Assa's grants concentrate

Assa Abloy Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Assa sits between AOD Holdings, LLC and Autefa Solutions Germany GMBH.

Assa's three-year grant acceleration

Assa Abloy Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc. shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
