Does more volume mean deeper claims for Franklin?

Each dot is one of Franklin’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). Franklin’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Franklin's grants concentrate

Franklin Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B64D (Equipment FOR Fitting IN OR TO AIRCRAFT; Flight SUITS; PARACHUTES; Arrangement OR Mounting OF Power Plants OR Propulsion Transmissions IN Aircraft). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Franklin sits between Forel S.P.A. and Fuell Inc..

Franklin's three-year grant acceleration

Franklin Products, Inc. shows 2 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.
