Does more volume mean deeper claims for Lyondellbasell?

Each dot is one of Lyondellbasell’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). Lyondellbasell’s own 14.8 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Lyondellbasell's grants concentrate

LyondellBasell Acetyls, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C07C (Acyclic OR Carbocyclic Compounds). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Lyondellbasell sits between Lipocine, Inc. and Marel Further Processing B.V..

Lyondellbasell's three-year grant acceleration

LyondellBasell Acetyls, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
