Does more volume mean deeper claims for Patterson?

Each dot is one of Patterson’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). Patterson’s own 7.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Patterson's grants concentrate

Patterson Fan Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under F04D (Non-positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Patterson sits between Passport Systems, Inc. and Peacock Law P.C..

Patterson's three-year grant acceleration

Patterson Fan Company shows 1 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.
