Does more volume mean deeper claims for Locus?

Each dot is one of Locus’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). Locus’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Locus's grants concentrate

Locus OIL IP Company, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 92.9% of grants classified under C09K (Materials FOR Miscellaneous Applications, NOT Provided FOR Elsewhere). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Locus sits between Liebherr-elektronik GMBH and Lonza Biologics PLC..

Locus's three-year grant acceleration

Locus OIL IP Company, LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
