Does more volume mean deeper claims for Herrmann?

Each dot is one of Herrmann’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). Herrmann’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Herrmann's grants concentrate

Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik GMBH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under B29C (Shaping OR Joining OF PLASTICS; Shaping OF Material IN A Plastic State, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; After-treatment OF THE Shaped Products, e.g. Repairing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Herrmann sits between Gen9, Inc. and Hypermed Imaging, Inc..

Herrmann's three-year grant acceleration

Herrmann Ultraschalltechnik GMBH & Co. KG shows 14 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.
