Does more volume mean deeper claims for Livingston?

Each dot is one of Livingston’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). Livingston’s own 13.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Livingston's grants concentrate

Livingston Systems, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under B41J (TYPEWRITERS; Selective Printing Mechanisms, i.e. Mechanisms Printing Otherwise Than From A FORME; Correction OF Typographical Errors). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Livingston sits between Lithium Power Inc. and Locanabio, Inc..

Livingston's three-year grant acceleration

Livingston Systems, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
