Does more volume mean deeper claims for Gatekeeper?

Each dot is one of Gatekeeper’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). Gatekeeper’s own 22.1 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 Gatekeeper's grants concentrate

Gatekeeper Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 81.6% of grants classified under B62B (Hand-propelled Vehicles, e.g. Hand Carts OR PERAMBULATORS; Sledges). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Gatekeeper sits between Future Dial, Inc. and Goertek Technology Co., Ltd..

Gatekeeper's three-year grant acceleration

Gatekeeper Systems, Inc. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
