Does more volume mean deeper claims for Carrot?
Each dot is one of Carrot’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). Carrot’s own 27.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Carrot's grants concentrate
Carrot, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carrot sits between Carl Walther GmbH and Catalytic Distillation Technologies.
Carrot's three-year grant acceleration
Carrot, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
