Does more volume mean deeper claims for Fontaine?

Each dot is one of Fontaine’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). Fontaine’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fontaine's grants concentrate

Fontaine Commercial Trailer, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under B62D (Motor VEHICLES; Trailers). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Fontaine sits between Fluehs Drehtechnik GmbH and ForgeRock, Inc..

Fontaine's three-year grant acceleration

Fontaine Commercial Trailer, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
