Does more volume mean deeper claims for Shaw?

Each dot is one of Shaw’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). Shaw’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Shaw's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Shaw Industries Group, Inc. received 18 grants versus 3 in 2015–2019 (+500% equal-window velocity, top decile growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2024 at 11 grants and bottomed in 2017 at 1. Lead class E04F accounts for 48.5% of the portfolio across 52 subclasses. Volume neighbours: Rompower Technology Holdings, LLC (#9,606) and Spogen Biotech, Inc. (#9,614).

Shaw's three-year grant acceleration

Shaw Industries Group, Inc. shows 17 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
