Does more volume mean deeper claims for Modicum?

Each dot is one of Modicum’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). Modicum’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Modicum's grants concentrate

Modicum, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Modicum sits between MMT SA and Mologic Limited.

Modicum's three-year grant acceleration

Modicum, LLC shows 7 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.
