Does more volume mean deeper claims for Prominent?

Each dot is one of Prominent’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). Prominent’s own 15.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Prominent's grants concentrate

Prominent GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 72.2% of grants classified under F04B (Positive-displacement Machines FOR LIQUIDS; Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Prominent sits between PMD Technologies AG and Penta Security Systems Inc..

Prominent's three-year grant acceleration

Prominent GMBH shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
