Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sterilex?

Each dot is one of Sterilex’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). Sterilex’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sterilex's grants concentrate

Sterilex, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Sterilex sits between StealthGearUSA LLC and Stoplift.

Sterilex's three-year grant acceleration

Sterilex, LLC shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
