Does more volume mean deeper claims for Maschinenfabrik?

Each dot is one of Maschinenfabrik’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). Maschinenfabrik’s own 15.0 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 Maschinenfabrik's grants concentrate

Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 61.9% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Maschinenfabrik sits between Mac LTT, Inc. and Microsoft Licensing Technology, LLC.

Maschinenfabrik's three-year grant acceleration

Maschinenfabrik Bernard Krone GmbH & Co. KG shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
