Does more volume mean deeper claims for Carlson?

Each dot is one of Carlson’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). Carlson’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Carlson's grants concentrate

Carlson Paving Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carlson sits between Cardio Precision Limited and Casepoint, LLC.

Carlson's three-year grant acceleration

Carlson Paving Products, Inc. shows 1 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.
