Does more volume mean deeper claims for Mid-west?

Each dot is one of Mid-west’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). Mid-west’s own 9.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Mid-west's grants concentrate

Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A01K (Animal HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; Rearing OR Breeding Animals, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; NEW Breeds OF Animals). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (9 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2018. By volume, Mid-west sits between Medtronic Vascular Galway Unlimited Company and National Products, Inc..

Mid-west's three-year grant acceleration

Mid-West Metal Products Company, Inc. shows 19 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
