Does more volume mean deeper claims for ETS?

Each dot is one of ETS’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). ETS’s own 1.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ETS's grants concentrate

ETS Express, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 3.1% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, ETS sits between Dr. Py Institute LLC and Edwards Vacuum LLC.

ETS's three-year grant acceleration

ETS Express, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
