Does more volume mean deeper claims for Berker?

Each dot is one of Berker’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). Berker’s own 29.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Berker's grants concentrate

Berker GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Berker sits between Benson Hill Biosystems, Inc. and Besmed Health Business Corp..

Berker's three-year grant acceleration

Berker GmbH & Co. KG shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
