Does more volume mean deeper claims for ebm-papst?

Each dot is one of ebm-papst’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). ebm-papst’s own 15.2 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 ebm-papst's grants concentrate

ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 42 CPC subclasses with 38.7% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (14 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2017. By volume, ebm-papst sits between Wildcat Discovery Technologies, Inc. and Alivecor, Inc..

ebm-papst's three-year grant acceleration

ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co. KG shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
