Does more volume mean deeper claims for Steiner-optik?
Each dot is one of Steiner-optik’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). Steiner-optik’s own 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Steiner-optik's grants concentrate
Steiner-optik GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 58.8% of grants classified under F41G (Weapon SIGHTS; Aiming). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Steiner-optik sits between ST9 GAS AND OIL, LLC and Surgical Design Corporation.
Steiner-optik's three-year grant acceleration
Steiner-optik GmbH shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
