Does more volume mean deeper claims for Green?
Each dot is one of Green’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). Green’s own 31.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Green's grants concentrate
Green Hills Software LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Green sits between Generale Biscuit and Harvatek Corporation.
Green's three-year grant acceleration
Green Hills Software LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
