Does more volume mean deeper claims for Kuhn-geldrop?

Each dot is one of Kuhn-geldrop’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). Kuhn-geldrop’s own 14.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kuhn-geldrop's grants concentrate

Kuhn-Geldrop B.V. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01F (Processing OF Harvested PRODUCE; HAY OR Straw PRESSES; Devices FOR Storing Agricultural OR Horticultural Produce). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Kuhn-geldrop sits between Kolo Technologies, Inc. and LAB Society LLC.

Kuhn-geldrop's three-year grant acceleration

Kuhn-Geldrop B.V. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
