Does more volume mean deeper claims for Intelsat?
Each dot is one of Intelsat’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). Intelsat’s own 20.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Intelsat's grants concentrate
Intelsat US LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Intelsat sits between Institute OF Metal Research Chinese Academy OF Sciences and Inuikii AG.
Intelsat's three-year grant acceleration
Intelsat US LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
