Does more volume mean deeper claims for Blanking?

Each dot is one of Blanking’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). Blanking’s own 10.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Blanking's grants concentrate

Blanking Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 52.6% of grants classified under F16B (Devices FOR Fastening OR Securing Constructional Elements OR Machine Parts Together, e.g. Nails, Bolts, Circlips, Clamps, Clips OR WEDGES; Joints OR Jointing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Blanking sits between Biomet UK Healthcare Limited and Branded Garden Products Ltd.

Blanking's three-year grant acceleration

Blanking Systems, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
