Does more volume mean deeper claims for Miller?

Each dot is one of Miller’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). Miller’s own 3.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Miller's grants concentrate

Miller Manufacturing Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 20% of grants classified under A01M (Catching, Trapping OR Scaring OF Animals ; Apparatus FOR THE Destruction OF Noxious Animals OR Noxious Plants). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Miller sits between Mighton Products Limited and Minco Products, Inc..

Miller's three-year grant acceleration

Miller Manufacturing Company, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
