Does more volume mean deeper claims for Bird-b-gone?

Each dot is one of Bird-b-gone’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). Bird-b-gone’s own 14.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bird-b-gone's grants concentrate

Bird-B-Gone, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Bird-b-gone sits between Basilea Pharmaceutica AG and Borealis Technology Oy.

Bird-b-gone's three-year grant acceleration

Bird-B-Gone, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
