Does more volume mean deeper claims for Roper?

Each dot is one of Roper’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). Roper’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Roper's grants concentrate

Roper Pump Company, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 78.6% of grants classified under F04C (Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Machines FOR Liquids ; Rotary-piston, OR Oscillating-piston, Positive-displacement Pumps). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Roper sits between Rimtec Corporation and RSR Technologies, Inc..

Roper's three-year grant acceleration

Roper Pump Company, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
