Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cambridge?

Each dot is one of Cambridge’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). Cambridge’s own 22.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Cambridge's three-year grant acceleration

Cambridge Crops, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
