Does more volume mean deeper claims for Mainspring?
Each dot is one of Mainspring’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). Mainspring’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Mainspring's grants concentrate
Mainspring Energy, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 59.1% of grants classified under F02B (Internal-combustion Piston ENGINES; Combustion Engines IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 6 in 2020. By volume, Mainspring sits between Lunatech, LLC and N.E. Chemcat Corporation.
Mainspring's three-year grant acceleration
Mainspring Energy, Inc. shows 26 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
