Does more volume mean deeper claims for Kraus?

Each dot is one of Kraus’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). Kraus’s own 5.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kraus's grants concentrate

Kraus USA Plumbing LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 18.5% of grants classified under E03C (Domestic Plumbing Installations FOR Fresh Water OR Waste Water ; Sinks). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (12 grants) versus a trough of 5 in 2023. By volume, Kraus sits between Koko Home, Inc. and Lekisport AG.

Kraus's three-year grant acceleration

Kraus USA Plumbing LLC shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
