Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cranemasters?

Each dot is one of Cranemasters’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). Cranemasters’s own 11.3 claims/patent is at or below the 22.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cranemasters's grants concentrate

Cranemasters, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Cranemasters sits between Core Health & Fitness, LLC and Cristel.

Cranemasters's three-year grant acceleration

Cranemasters, Inc. shows 5 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.
