Does more volume mean deeper claims for Swenson?

Each dot is one of Swenson’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). Swenson’s own 14.7 claims/patent is at or below the 15.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Swenson's grants concentrate

Swenson Spreader, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E01H (Street CLEANING; Cleaning OF Permanent WAYS; Cleaning BEACHES; Dispersing ; OR PREVENTING; FOG IN General ; Cleaning Street OR Railway Furniture OR Tunnel Walls). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Swenson sits between Svxr, Inc. and Synaptic Research, LLC.

Swenson's three-year grant acceleration

Swenson Spreader, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
