Does more volume mean deeper claims for Soluble?

Each dot is one of Soluble’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). Soluble’s own 17.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Soluble's grants concentrate

Soluble Technologies Group, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 93.8% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Soluble sits between SmileDirectClub LLC and St. Louis Medical Devices, Inc..

Soluble's three-year grant acceleration

Soluble Technologies Group, LLC shows 11 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.
