Does more volume mean deeper claims for Paua?

Each dot is one of Paua’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). Paua’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Paua's grants concentrate

Paua Trading Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B63B (Ships OR Other Waterborne VESSELS; Equipment FOR Shipping). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Paua sits between Park A Bike, Inc. and PDS IG Holdings LLC.

Paua's three-year grant acceleration

Paua Trading Limited shows 5 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.
