Does more volume mean deeper claims for Blanco?

Each dot is one of Blanco’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). Blanco’s own 4.5 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Blanco's grants concentrate

Blanco GMBH + Co KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 14.8% of grants classified under E03C (Domestic Plumbing Installations FOR Fresh Water OR Waste Water ; Sinks). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Blanco sits between Applied Minds, LLC and Cenovus Energy Inc..

Blanco's three-year grant acceleration

Blanco GMBH + Co KG shows 14 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.
