Does more volume mean deeper claims for Spring?

Each dot is one of Spring’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). Spring’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Spring's grants concentrate

Spring (U.S.A.) Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under A47J (Kitchen EQUIPMENT; Coffee MILLS; Spice MILLS; Apparatus FOR Making Beverages). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Spring sits between Spine View, Inc. and Square Panda, Inc..

Spring's three-year grant acceleration

Spring (U.S.A.) Corporation shows 2 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.
