Does more volume mean deeper claims for Gold?
Each dot is one of Gold’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). Gold’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 10.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Gold's grants concentrate
Gold Crest Distributing, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Gold sits between GNT Group B.V. and Goplug Bags, Inc..
Gold's three-year grant acceleration
Gold Crest Distributing, LLC 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.
