Each dot is one of Tri-state’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). Tri-state’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tri-state's grants concentrate

Tri-state Environmental, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under B08B (Cleaning IN GENERAL; Prevention OF Fouling IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Tri-state sits between Tosho, Inc. and TTTech Auto AG.

Tri-state's three-year grant acceleration

Tri-state Environmental, LLC shows 7 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.
