Does more volume mean deeper claims for USG?

Each dot is one of USG’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). USG’s own 8.1 claims/patent is at or below the 14.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where USG's grants concentrate

USG Interiors, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 37 CPC subclasses with 78.8% of grants classified under E04B (General Building CONSTRUCTIONS; Walls, e.g. PARTITIONS; ROOFS; FLOORS; CEILINGS; Insulation OR Other Protection OF Buildings). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (18 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2022. By volume, USG sits between Toyo INK SC Holdings Co., Ltd. and thyssenkrupp Elevator Corporation.

USG's three-year grant acceleration

USG Interiors, LLC shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
