Does more volume mean deeper claims for Keck?

Each dot is one of Keck’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). Keck’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Keck's grants concentrate

Keck Graduate Institute OF Applied Life Sciences is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). By volume, Keck sits between KCG Technologies LLC and Kelheim Fibres GMBH.

Keck's three-year grant acceleration

Keck Graduate Institute OF Applied Life Sciences shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
