Does more volume mean deeper claims for Collectors?

Each dot is one of Collectors’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). Collectors’s own 25.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Collectors's grants concentrate

Collectors Universe, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 60% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Collectors sits between Cohesive Systems LLC and ColorLink Japan, Ltd..

Collectors's three-year grant acceleration

Collectors Universe, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
