Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cotsworks?

Each dot is one of Cotsworks’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). Cotsworks’s own 17.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cotsworks's grants concentrate

Cotsworks, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under G02B (Optical Elements, Systems OR Apparatus). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Cotsworks sits between Corinnova Incorporated and Cross Innovations LLC.

Cotsworks's three-year grant acceleration

Cotsworks, Inc. shows 1 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.
