Does more volume mean deeper claims for Anthony?

Each dot is one of Anthony’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). Anthony’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Anthony's grants concentrate

Anthony, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 29 CPC subclasses with 83.1% of grants classified under A47F (Special Furniture, Fittings, OR Accessories FOR Shops, Storehouses, Bars, Restaurants OR THE LIKE; Paying Counters). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (12 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2016. By volume, Anthony sits between Xidian University and Blue Origin, LLC.

Anthony's three-year grant acceleration

Anthony, Inc. shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
