Does more volume mean deeper claims for Eaton?

Each dot is one of Eaton’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). Eaton’s own 18.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Eaton's grants concentrate

Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Eaton sits between Ezisurg Medical Co., Ltd. and Edeniq, Inc..

Eaton's three-year grant acceleration

Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Tech., LLC shows 6 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.
