Each dot is one of Blac-rac’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). Blac-rac’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Blac-rac's grants concentrate
Blac-Rac Manufacturing, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F41A (Functional Features OR Details Common TO Both Smallarms AND Ordnance, e.g. CANNONS; Mountings FOR Smallarms OR Ordnance). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Blac-rac sits between Biotras Holdings, LLC and Blackdot, Inc..
Blac-rac's three-year grant acceleration
Blac-Rac Manufacturing, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
