Does more volume mean deeper claims for Image?
Each dot is one of Image’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). Image’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Image's grants concentrate
Image Match Design Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 82.4% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Image sits between Hygieia, Inc. and Inivata Ltd.
Image's three-year grant acceleration
Image Match Design 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.
