Does more volume mean deeper claims for Harmonix?

Each dot is one of Harmonix’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). Harmonix’s own 21.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Harmonix's grants concentrate

Harmonix Music Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under A63F (Card, Board, OR Roulette GAMES; Indoor Games Using Small Moving Playing BODIES; Video GAMES; Games NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Harmonix sits between Hypersciences, Inc. and Hillenbrand Management Company LLC.

Harmonix's three-year grant acceleration

Harmonix Music Systems, Inc. shows 5 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.
