Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ningbo?
Each dot is one of Ningbo’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). Ningbo’s own 9.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 4.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Ningbo's grants concentrate
Ningbo Richen Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 61.5% of grants classified under F24C (Domestic Stoves OR Ranges ; Details OF Domestic Stoves OR Ranges, OF General Application). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Ningbo sits between Nikles TEC Italia S.R.L. and Nitto Shinko Corporation.
Ningbo's three-year grant acceleration
Ningbo Richen Electrical Appliance Co., Ltd shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
