Does more volume mean deeper claims for Water?

Each dot is one of Water’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). Water’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Water's grants concentrate

Water Tech, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 66.7% of grants classified under E04H (Buildings OR Like Structures FOR Particular PURPOSES; Swimming OR Splash Baths OR POOLS; MASTS; FENCING; Tents OR Canopies, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Water sits between Wuhan LL Science AND Technology Development Co., Ltd. and Whiteside Mfg. Co..

Water's three-year grant acceleration

Water Tech, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
