Does more volume mean deeper claims for Compass?

Each dot is one of Compass’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). Compass’s own 25.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Compass's grants concentrate

Compass Pathfinder Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 93.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Compass sits between Chronicle LLC and Crary Industries, Inc..

Compass's three-year grant acceleration

Compass Pathfinder Limited shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
