Does more volume mean deeper claims for Citicorp?

Each dot is one of Citicorp’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). Citicorp’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Citicorp's grants concentrate

Citicorp Credit Services, Inc. (USA) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 66.7% 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 2018 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Citicorp sits between Auto-Kabel Management GmbH and Ceva Sante Animale.

Citicorp's three-year grant acceleration

Citicorp Credit Services, Inc. (USA) shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
