Does more volume mean deeper claims for Graymont?

Each dot is one of Graymont’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). Graymont’s own 20.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Graymont's grants concentrate

Graymont Western Canada Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Graymont sits between Goodnature Products, Inc. and Guala Closures S.p.A..

Graymont's three-year grant acceleration

Graymont Western Canada Inc. shows 10 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.
