Does more volume mean deeper claims for Vanmark?

Each dot is one of Vanmark’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). Vanmark’s own 9.4 claims/patent is at or below the 12.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vanmark's grants concentrate

Vanmark Equipment, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under B26D (CUTTING; Details Common TO Machines FOR Perforating, Punching, Cutting-out, Stamping-out OR Severing). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Vanmark sits between Vulcan Completion Products UK Limited and Vasonova, Inc..

Vanmark's three-year grant acceleration

Vanmark Equipment, LLC shows 2 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.
