Does more volume mean deeper claims for Catalina?

Each dot is one of Catalina’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). Catalina’s own 21.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Catalina's grants concentrate

Catalina Marketing Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 94.9% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Catalina sits between Centro DE INGENIERÍA GENÉTICA Y BIOTECNOLOGÍA and Conexant Systems, LLC.

Catalina's three-year grant acceleration

Catalina Marketing Corporation shows 12 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.
