Does more volume mean deeper claims for Grubhub?

Each dot is one of Grubhub’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). Grubhub’s own 17.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Grubhub's grants concentrate

Grubhub Holdings, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 88% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Grubhub sits between Genesys Logic, Inc. and Georgia-Pacific Corrugated LLC.

Grubhub's three-year grant acceleration

Grubhub Holdings, Inc. shows 9 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.
