Does more volume mean deeper claims for Warn?
Each dot is one of Warn’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). Warn’s own 8.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Warn's grants concentrate
Warn Automotive, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Warn sits between VergeSense, Inc. and Websense, LLC.
Warn's three-year grant acceleration
Warn Automotive, LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
