Does more volume mean deeper claims for Printpack?

Each dot is one of Printpack’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). Printpack’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Printpack's grants concentrate

Printpack Illinois, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under B65D (Containers FOR Storage OR Transport OF Articles OR Materials, e.g. Bags, Barrels, Bottles, Boxes, Cans, Cartons, Crates, Drums, Jars, Tanks, Hoppers, Forwarding CONTAINERS; Accessories, Closures, OR F). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2018. By volume, Printpack sits between PaloDEx Group Oy and Quantum Valley Ideas Laboratories.

Printpack's three-year grant acceleration

Printpack Illinois, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
