Does more volume mean deeper claims for Stendals?

Each dot is one of Stendals’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). Stendals’s own 13.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Stendals's grants concentrate

Stendals EL AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E05B (LOCKS; Accessories THEREFOR; Handcuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Stendals sits between Standard Brands (UK) Limited and Subpac, Inc..

Stendals's three-year grant acceleration

Stendals EL AB shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
