Does more volume mean deeper claims for Great?

Each dot is one of Great’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). Great’s own 25.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Great's grants concentrate

Great Stuff, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 93.3% of grants classified under B65H (Handling Thin OR Filamentary Material, e.g. Sheets, Webs, Cables). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Great sits between Global Esprit Inc. and GT Technologies, Inc..

Great's three-year grant acceleration

Great Stuff, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
