Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cutsforth?

Each dot is one of Cutsforth’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). Cutsforth’s own 23.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cutsforth's grants concentrate

Cutsforth, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Cutsforth sits between Blue Belt Technologies, Inc. and Curis, Inc..

Cutsforth's three-year grant acceleration

Cutsforth, Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
