Does more volume mean deeper claims for Autefa?

Each dot is one of Autefa’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). Autefa’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Autefa's grants concentrate

Autefa Solutions Germany GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under D04H (Making Textile Fabrics, e.g. From Fibres OR Filamentary Material ; Fabrics Made BY Such Processes OR Apparatus, e.g. Felts, Non-woven FABRICS; COTTON-WOOL; Wadding ; ; Non-woven Fabrics From Staple FI). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Autefa sits between Assa Abloy Access and Egress Hardware Group, Inc. and Aero Industries, Inc..

Autefa's three-year grant acceleration

Autefa Solutions Germany GMBH shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
