Does more volume mean deeper claims for Gordon?

Each dot is one of Gordon’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). Gordon’s own 13.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Gordon's grants concentrate

Gordon Murray Design Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 58.8% of grants classified under B62D (Motor VEHICLES; Trailers). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Gordon sits between Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. and Great Fitness Industrial Co., Ltd..

Gordon's three-year grant acceleration

Gordon Murray Design Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
