Does more volume mean deeper claims for Think?

Each dot is one of Think’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). Think’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Think's grants concentrate

Think AND Vision GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). By volume, Think sits between THE Siemon Company and Thueringisches Institute Fuer Textile- UND Kunstostoff-forschung E.V..

Think's three-year grant acceleration

Think AND Vision GMBH 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.
