Does more volume mean deeper claims for THL?

Each dot is one of THL’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). THL’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where THL's grants concentrate

THL Holding Company, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under G08B (Signalling OR Calling SYSTEMS; Order TELEGRAPHS; Alarm Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, THL sits between THE City University OF NEW York and Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Incorporated.

THL's three-year grant acceleration

THL Holding Company, LLC shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
