Does more volume mean deeper claims for Coastal?

Each dot is one of Coastal’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). Coastal’s own 11.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Coastal's grants concentrate

Coastal Industries, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under A47K (Sanitary Equipment NOT Otherwise Provided FOR ; Toilet Accessories). By volume, Coastal sits between Cluffy, LLC and Cocoon Biotech Inc..

Coastal's three-year grant acceleration

Coastal Industries, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
