Does more volume mean deeper claims for Dugan?
Each dot is one of Dugan’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). Dugan’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Dugan's grants concentrate
Dugan Patents, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 68.8% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Dugan sits between Dose Medical Corporation and Eads Construcciones Aeronauticas S.A..
Dugan's three-year grant acceleration
Dugan Patents, LLC shows 9 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.
