Does more volume mean deeper claims for SMR?

Each dot is one of SMR’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). SMR’s own 17.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where SMR's grants concentrate

SMR Inventec, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, SMR sits between Sekisui House, Ltd. and Source Photonics (CHENGDU) Company, Ltd..

SMR's three-year grant acceleration

SMR Inventec, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
