Does more volume mean deeper claims for Schaffert?

Each dot is one of Schaffert’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). Schaffert’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Schaffert's grants concentrate

Schaffert Manufacturing Company, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under A01C (PLANTING; SOWING; Fertilising). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Schaffert sits between Röhm GmbH and Shangrao Jinko Solar Technology Development Co Ltd.

Schaffert's three-year grant acceleration

Schaffert Manufacturing Company, Inc. shows 5 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.
