Does more volume mean deeper claims for Koch?

Each dot is one of Koch’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). Koch’s own 19.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Koch's grants concentrate

Koch Agronomic Services, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C05G (Mixtures OF Fertilisers Covered Individually BY Different Subclasses OF Class C05; Mixtures OF ONE OR More Fertilisers With Materials NOT Having A Specific Fertilising Activity, e.g. Pesticides, Soil-). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Koch sits between Institut Fur Rundfunktechnik GMBH and Korea Internet & Security Agency.

Koch's three-year grant acceleration

Koch Agronomic Services, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
