Does more volume mean deeper claims for Wirtgen?

Each dot is one of Wirtgen’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). Wirtgen’s own 12.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 6.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wirtgen's grants concentrate

Wirtgen America, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E01C (Construction OF, OR Surfaces FOR, Roads, Sports Grounds, OR THE LIKE; Machines OR Auxiliary Tools FOR Construction OR Repair). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Wirtgen sits between William Evans Retail Ltd and Wood Stone Corporation.

Wirtgen's three-year grant acceleration

Wirtgen America, Inc. shows 3 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.
