Does more volume mean deeper claims for ON?

Each dot is one of ON’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). ON’s own 8.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ON's grants concentrate

ON Clouds GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 40.9% of grants classified under A43B (Characteristic Features OF FOOTWEAR; Parts OF Footwear). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, ON sits between OHC IP Holdings, LLC and Orcan Energy AG.

ON's three-year grant acceleration

ON Clouds GMBH shows 4 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.
