Does more volume mean deeper claims for Foshan?

Each dot is one of Foshan’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). Foshan’s own 8.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Foshan's grants concentrate

Foshan Shunde Midea Water Dispenser Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Foshan sits between Figs, Inc. and Freshlink Product Development, LLC.

Foshan's three-year grant acceleration

Foshan Shunde Midea Water Dispenser Manufacturing Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
