Does more volume mean deeper claims for S&p?

Each dot is one of S&p’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). S&p’s own 17.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where S&p's grants concentrate

S&P Ingredient Development, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, S&p sits between Rosedale Dynamics LLC and Sabre Intellectual Property Holdings LLC.

S&p's three-year grant acceleration

S&P Ingredient Development, LLC shows 3 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.
