Does more volume mean deeper claims for Dalen?

Each dot is one of Dalen’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). Dalen’s own 5.2 claims/patent is at or below the 10.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Dalen's grants concentrate

Dalen Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 55% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Dalen sits between Dong HEE Industrial Co., Ltd. and Diamond Tech LLC.

Dalen's three-year grant acceleration

Dalen Products, Inc. shows 13 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.
