Does more volume mean deeper claims for Bleckmann?
Each dot is one of Bleckmann’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). Bleckmann’s own 11.5 claims/patent is at or below the 12.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Bleckmann's grants concentrate
Bleckmann GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under F24H (Fluid Heaters, e.g. Water OR AIR Heaters, Having Heat-generating Means, e.g. Heat Pumps, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Bleckmann sits between Black Hills Media, LLC and Borgwarner Emissions Systems Spain, S.L.U..
Bleckmann's three-year grant acceleration
Bleckmann GmbH & Co. KG shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
