Does more volume mean deeper claims for Mcnaughton?

Each dot is one of Mcnaughton’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). Mcnaughton’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mcnaughton's grants concentrate

McNaughton Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Mcnaughton sits between Maxx Media Group, LLC and MedTrace Pharma A/S.

Mcnaughton's three-year grant acceleration

McNaughton Incorporated shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
