Does more volume mean deeper claims for Hennessy?

Each dot is one of Hennessy’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). Hennessy’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Hennessy's grants concentrate

Hennessy Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B60C (Vehicle TYRES; Tyre INFLATION; Tyre CHANGING; Connecting Valves TO Inflatable Elastic Bodies IN GENERAL; Devices OR Arrangements Related TO Tyres). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Hennessy sits between Head's Select, Inc. and Hologram Holdings I, Inc..

Hennessy's three-year grant acceleration

Hennessy Industries, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
