Does more volume mean deeper claims for Grass?

Each dot is one of Grass’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). Grass’s own 16.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Grass's grants concentrate

Grass America, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 54.5% of grants classified under A47B (TABLES; DESKS; Office FURNITURE; CABINETS; DRAWERS; General Details OF Furniture). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016.

Grass's three-year grant acceleration

Grass America, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
