Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sonny's?

Each dot is one of Sonny's’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). Sonny's’s own 16.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sonny's's grants concentrate

Sonny's HFI Holdings, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 53.3% of grants classified under B05B (Spraying APPARATUS; Atomising APPARATUS; Nozzles). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Sonny's sits between Skyhigh Security LLC and Spriv LLC.

Sonny's's three-year grant acceleration

Sonny's HFI Holdings, LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
