What this shows Catlam's Innovation Score is 35.0/100 (top 50% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Catlam?

Each dot is one of Catlam’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). Catlam’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Catlam's grants concentrate

Catlam, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 92.9% of grants classified under H05K (Printed CIRCUITS; Casings OR Constructional Details OF Electric APPARATUS; Manufacture OF Assemblages OF Electrical Components). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Catlam sits between Cashman Dredging AND Marine Contracting, Co., LLC and Cellcentric GMBH & Co. KG.

Catlam's three-year grant acceleration

Catlam, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
