Does more volume mean deeper claims for Canadian?

Each dot is one of Canadian’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). Canadian’s own 5.0 claims/patent is at or below the 11.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Canadian's grants concentrate

Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 5.3% of grants classified under E01H (Street CLEANING; Cleaning OF Permanent WAYS; Cleaning BEACHES; Dispersing ; OR PREVENTING; FOG IN General ; Cleaning Street OR Railway Furniture OR Tunnel Walls). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Canadian sits between Beifa Group Co., Ltd. and Cloudminds (SHENZHEN) Robotics Systems Co., Ltd..

Canadian's three-year grant acceleration

Canadian Tire Corporation, Limited shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
