Does more volume mean deeper claims for Excel?

Each dot is one of Excel’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). Excel’s own 14.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Excel's grants concentrate

Excel Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 61.8% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Excel sits between Everready Precision IND. Corp. and Flytech Technology Co., Ltd..

Excel's three-year grant acceleration

Excel Industries, Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
