Does more volume mean deeper claims for Schwan-stabilo?
Each dot is one of Schwan-stabilo’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). Schwan-stabilo’s own 12.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Schwan-stabilo's grants concentrate
Schwan-stabilo Cosmetic GMBH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 29.4% of grants classified under A45D (Hairdressing OR Shaving Equipment ; Equipment FOR Cosmetics OR Cosmetic Treatments, e.g. FOR Manicuring OR Pedicuring). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Schwan-stabilo sits between Salt International Corp. and Seiko Group Corporation.
Schwan-stabilo's three-year grant acceleration
Schwan-stabilo Cosmetic GMBH & Co. KG shows 1 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.
