Does more volume mean deeper claims for Samuel?

Each dot is one of Samuel’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). Samuel’s own 24.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Samuel's grants concentrate

Samuel, Son & Co. (USA) Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B65B (Machines, Apparatus OR Devices FOR, OR Methods OF, Packaging Articles OR MATERIALS; Unpacking). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Samuel sits between Sage Intacct, Inc. and Sanofi China Investment Co. Ltd..

Samuel's three-year grant acceleration

Samuel, Son & Co. (USA) Inc. shows 4 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.
