Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sprick?

Each dot is one of Sprick’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). Sprick’s own 16.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Sprick's three-year grant acceleration

Sprick GmbH Bielefelder Papier-und Wellpappenwerke & Co. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
