Does more volume mean deeper claims for Chicagoland?
Each dot is one of Chicagoland’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). Chicagoland’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 19.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Chicagoland's grants concentrate
Chicagoland Grows, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2015 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Chicagoland sits between Cellular Research, Inc. and Colormatrix Holdings, Inc..
Chicagoland's three-year grant acceleration
Chicagoland Grows, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
