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 22.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 19.1 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 Fifth Wheel Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B62D (Motor VEHICLES; Trailers). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Fontaine sits between FlexGen Power Systems, LLC and Form 700 Pty Ltd.

Fontaine's three-year grant acceleration

Fontaine Fifth Wheel Company shows 3 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.
