Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sococo?
Each dot is one of Sococo’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). Sococo’s own 21.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Sococo's grants concentrate
Sococo, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 90.3% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (11 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2019. By volume, Sococo sits between Shoei Chemical Inc. and Tokiwa Corporation.
Sococo's three-year grant acceleration
Sococo, LLC shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 19 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.
