Does more volume mean deeper claims for Bank?

Each dot is one of Bank’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). Bank’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bank's grants concentrate

Bank of Montreal is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 65.1% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Bank sits between Blue Goji LLC and Buster and Punch Limited.

Bank's three-year grant acceleration

Bank of Montreal shows 30 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.
