Does more volume mean deeper claims for Therm-o-disc?

Each dot is one of Therm-o-disc’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). Therm-o-disc’s own 14.3 claims/patent is at or below the 19.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Therm-o-disc's grants concentrate

Therm-O-Disc, Incorporated is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Therm-o-disc sits between The University of Mississippi Medical Center and Tower Solutions, LLC.

Therm-o-disc's three-year grant acceleration

Therm-O-Disc, Incorporated shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
