Does more volume mean deeper claims for Loci?

Each dot is one of Loci’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). Loci’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Loci's grants concentrate

Loci Controls, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 82% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (13 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Loci sits between Kosmek Ltd. and Ningbo Institute OF Materials Technology & Engineering, Chinese Academy OF Sciences.

Loci's three-year grant acceleration

Loci Controls, Inc. shows 27 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
