Does more volume mean deeper claims for THE?
Each dot is one of THE’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). THE’s own 8.9 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where THE's grants concentrate
THE KUN Shoulder Rest Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under G10D (Stringed Musical INSTRUMENTS; Wind Musical INSTRUMENTS; Accordions OR CONCERTINAS; Percussion Musical INSTRUMENTS; Aeolian HARPS; Singing-flame Musical INSTRUMENTS; Musical Instruments NOT Otherwise P). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, THE sits between THE Chancellor, Masters, AND Scholars OF THE University OF Cambridge and THE Reynolds AND Reynolds Company.
THE's three-year grant acceleration
THE KUN Shoulder Rest Inc. shows 2 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.
