Does more volume mean deeper claims for REG?

Each dot is one of REG’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). REG’s own 20.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where REG's grants concentrate

REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 78.1% of grants classified under Y02P (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies IN THE Production OR Processing OF Goods). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, REG sits between Putco, Inc. and Reliance Controls Corporation.

REG's three-year grant acceleration

REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
