Does more volume mean deeper claims for Tech4imaging?
Each dot is one of Tech4imaging’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). Tech4imaging’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Tech4imaging's grants concentrate
Tech4Imaging LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Tech4imaging sits between Trina Solar Co., Ltd. and The United States of America, represented by the Secretary of the Navy.
Tech4imaging's three-year grant acceleration
Tech4Imaging LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
