Does more volume mean deeper claims for DQC?

Each dot is one of DQC’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). DQC’s own 3.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where DQC's grants concentrate

DQC International Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A01K (Animal HUSBANDRY; AVICULTURE; APICULTURE; PISCICULTURE; FISHING; Rearing OR Breeding Animals, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; NEW Breeds OF Animals). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, DQC sits between Double Black Aviation Technology L.L.C. and Dreamlight Holdings Inc..

DQC's three-year grant acceleration

DQC International Corp. shows 3 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.
