Does more volume mean deeper claims for Bauer?

Each dot is one of Bauer’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). Bauer’s own 26.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bauer's grants concentrate

Bauer Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Bauer sits between B. J. ZH. F. Panther Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. and Behr GMBH & Co. KG.

Bauer's three-year grant acceleration

Bauer Products, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
