Does more volume mean deeper claims for Tompkins?

Each dot is one of Tompkins’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). Tompkins’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tompkins's grants concentrate

Tompkins Robotics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B65G (Transport OR Storage Devices, e.g. Conveyors FOR Loading OR Tipping, Shop Conveyor Systems OR Pneumatic Tube Conveyors). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Tompkins sits between TTTech Computertechnik Aktiengesellschaft and U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company LLC.

Tompkins's three-year grant acceleration

Tompkins Robotics, Inc. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
