Does more volume mean deeper claims for Frieslandcampina?

Each dot is one of Frieslandcampina’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). Frieslandcampina’s own 17.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Frieslandcampina's grants concentrate

FrieslandCampina Nederland B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 40.7% of grants classified under A23C (Dairy Products, e.g. Milk, Butter OR CHEESE; Milk OR Cheese SUBSTITUTES; Making OR Treatment Thereof).

Frieslandcampina's three-year grant acceleration

FrieslandCampina Nederland B.V. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
