Does more volume mean deeper claims for Avon?

Each dot is one of Avon’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). Avon’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Avon's grants concentrate

Avon Products, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 84.9% of grants classified under A61Q (Specific USE OF Cosmetics OR Similar Toiletry Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (31 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Avon sits between Wabco Europe Bvba and CKnapp Sales, Inc..

Avon's three-year grant acceleration

Avon Products, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
