Does more volume mean deeper claims for Black?

Each dot is one of Black’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). Black’s own 23.1 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 Black's grants concentrate

Black Gold Coin, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Black sits between Biostage, Inc. and BluVector, Inc..

Black's three-year grant acceleration

Black Gold Coin, 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.
