Does more volume mean deeper claims for itool?
Each dot is one of itool’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). itool’s own 14.2 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 itool's grants concentrate
iTool Equipment Holding LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 25 CPC subclasses with 37.8% of grants classified under B65H (Handling Thin OR Filamentary Material, e.g. Sheets, Webs, Cables). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, itool sits between Yamashin-filter Corp. and Abivax.
itool's three-year grant acceleration
iTool Equipment Holding LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
