Each dot is one of Shekel’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). Shekel’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shekel's grants concentrate

Shekel Scales (2008) Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01G (Weighing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Shekel sits between Shanghai Vanchip Technologies Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Banmiao Technology Co., Ltd..

Shekel's three-year grant acceleration

Shekel Scales (2008) Ltd. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
