Does more volume mean deeper claims for Century?
Each dot is one of Century’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). Century’s own 2.5 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Century's grants concentrate
Century Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 8.3% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Century sits between Celonis SE and Certify Global Inc..
Century's three-year grant acceleration
Century Products, Inc. shows 11 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.
