Does more volume mean deeper claims for Callidus?

Each dot is one of Callidus’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). Callidus’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Callidus's grants concentrate

Callidus Software, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 64.3% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Callidus sits between C-eng Co., Ltd. and Cartica AI Ltd..

Callidus's three-year grant acceleration

Callidus Software, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
