Does more volume mean deeper claims for Patco?

Each dot is one of Patco’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). Patco’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Patco's grants concentrate

Patco, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 91.3% of grants classified under E04B (General Building CONSTRUCTIONS; Walls, e.g. PARTITIONS; ROOFS; FLOORS; CEILINGS; Insulation OR Other Protection OF Buildings). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Patco sits between OrderGroove, LLC and Pixelligent Technologies LLC.

Patco's three-year grant acceleration

Patco, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
