Does more volume mean deeper claims for Waterworks?
Each dot is one of Waterworks’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). Waterworks’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Waterworks's grants concentrate
Waterworks Technology Development Organization Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 93.8% of grants classified under F16L (PIPES; Joints OR Fittings FOR PIPES; Supports FOR Pipes, Cables OR Protective TUBING; Means FOR Thermal Insulation IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Waterworks sits between Voxtel, Inc. and Wilder Systems Inc..
Waterworks's three-year grant acceleration
Waterworks Technology Development Organization Co., Ltd. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
