Does more volume mean deeper claims for Charles?

Each dot is one of Charles’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). Charles’s own 17.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Charles's grants concentrate

Charles Sturt University is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under C07H (SUGARS; Derivatives THEREOF; NUCLEOSIDES; NUCLEOTIDES; Nucleic Acids). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Charles sits between Ceske Vysoke Uceni Technicke V Praze and Chilisin Electronics Corp..

Charles's three-year grant acceleration

Charles Sturt University shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
