Does more volume mean deeper claims for Maeda?
Each dot is one of Maeda’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). Maeda’s own 4.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Maeda's grants concentrate
Maeda Seisakusho Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under B66C (CRANES; Load-engaging Elements OR Devices FOR Cranes, Capstans, Winches, OR Tackles). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Maeda sits between M. Alphabet 3, LLC and MAG Daddy LLC.
Maeda's three-year grant acceleration
Maeda Seisakusho Co., Ltd. shows 1 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.
