Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cathworks?

Each dot is one of Cathworks’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). Cathworks’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cathworks's grants concentrate

Cathworks Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Cathworks sits between Cibt America Inc. and Coherex Medical, Inc..

Cathworks's three-year grant acceleration

Cathworks Ltd. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
