Does more volume mean deeper claims for Canny?

Each dot is one of Canny’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). Canny’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Canny's grants concentrate

Canny Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under F21W (Indexing Scheme Associated With Subclasses F21k, F21l, F21s and F21v, Relating TO Uses OR Applications OF Lighting Devices OR Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Canny sits between C. Cretors & Company and Cariad SE.

Canny's three-year grant acceleration

Canny Systems, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
