Does more volume mean deeper claims for Macro?

Each dot is one of Macro’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). Macro’s own 7.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Macro's grants concentrate

Macro Plastics, INO. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 69.2% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Macro sits between Lumen Bioscience, Inc. and Marco Bicego S.P.A..

Macro's three-year grant acceleration

Macro Plastics, INO. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
