Does more volume mean deeper claims for DE?

Each dot is one of DE’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). DE’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where DE's grants concentrate

DE Greef's Wagen-, Carrosserie-en Machinebouw B.V is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under B07C (Postal SORTING; Sorting Individual Articles, OR Bulk Material FIT TO BE Sorted Piece-meal, e.g. BY Picking). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, DE sits between Daniels Manufacturing Corporation and Devon Energy Corporation.

DE's three-year grant acceleration

DE Greef's Wagen-, Carrosserie-en Machinebouw B.V shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
