Does more volume mean deeper claims for Hurco?

Each dot is one of Hurco’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). Hurco’s own 25.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Hurco's grants concentrate

Hurco Companies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under G05B (Control OR Regulating Systems IN GENERAL; Functional Elements OF Such SYSTEMS; Monitoring OR Testing Arrangements FOR Such Systems OR Elements). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Hurco sits between Huiyang Allan Plastic & Electric Industries Co., Limited and I-tech USA, Inc..

Hurco's three-year grant acceleration

Hurco Companies, Inc. shows 1 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.
