Does more volume mean deeper claims for Crary?

Each dot is one of Crary’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). Crary’s own 22.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Crary's grants concentrate

Crary Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 56.3% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Crary sits between Compass Pathfinder Limited and Cummins Filtration Inc..

Crary's three-year grant acceleration

Crary Industries, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
