Does more volume mean deeper claims for CPI?

Each dot is one of CPI’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). CPI’s own 21.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where CPI's grants concentrate

CPI Card Group-colorado, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 71.9% of grants classified under G06K (Graphical Data Reading ; Presentation OF DATA; Record CARRIERS; Handling Record Carriers). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, CPI sits between Chongqing Konka Photoelectric Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd and Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou.

CPI's three-year grant acceleration

CPI Card Group-colorado, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
