Does more volume mean deeper claims for Bunge?

Each dot is one of Bunge’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). Bunge’s own 11.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bunge's grants concentrate

Bunge Loders Croklaan B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under A23V (Indexing Scheme Relating TO Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages AND Lactic OR Propionic Acid Bacteria Used IN Foodstuffs OR Food Preparation). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Bunge sits between Brugg Rohr AG Holding and Battle Sight Technologies, LLC.

Bunge's three-year grant acceleration

Bunge Loders Croklaan B.V. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
