Does more volume mean deeper claims for Trendsetter?

Each dot is one of Trendsetter’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). Trendsetter’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Trendsetter's grants concentrate

Trendsetter Vulcan Offshore, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 64.3% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Trendsetter sits between Teenage Engineering AB and Universite D'orleans.

Trendsetter's three-year grant acceleration

Trendsetter Vulcan Offshore, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
