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 9.2 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 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 New Zealand Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 41.2% of grants classified under E05Y (Indexing Scheme Associated With Subclasses E05d AND E05f, Relating TO Construction Elements, Electric Control, Power Supply, Power Signal OR Transmission, User Interfaces, Mounting OR Coupling, Detail). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Assa sits between ARMOR and Aurotec GMBH.

Assa's three-year grant acceleration

Assa Abloy New Zealand Limited shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
