Does more volume mean deeper claims for Flow?

Each dot is one of Flow’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). Flow’s own 17.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Flow's grants concentrate

Flow Devices AND Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G05D (Systems FOR Controlling OR Regulating Non-electric Variables). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Flow sits between Flash APP, LLC and Fluisense APS.

Flow's three-year grant acceleration

Flow Devices AND Systems Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
