Does more volume mean deeper claims for ISM?

Each dot is one of ISM’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). ISM’s own 2.3 claims/patent is at or below the 11.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ISM's grants concentrate

ISM Saddles, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 9.4% of grants classified under B62J (Cycle Saddles OR SEATS; Auxiliary Devices OR Accessories Specially Adapted TO Cycles AND NOT Otherwise Provided FOR, e.g. Article Carriers OR Cycle Protectors). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (15 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, ISM sits between Insinkerator LLC and J-Devices Corporation.

ISM's three-year grant acceleration

ISM Saddles, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
