Does more volume mean deeper claims for Suse?
Each dot is one of Suse’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). Suse’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Suse's grants concentrate
Suse LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 68.2% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Suse sits between Strattec Security Corporation and Scrub Daddy, Inc..
Suse's three-year grant acceleration
Suse LLC shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
