Does more volume mean deeper claims for M2?
Each dot is one of M2’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). M2’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where M2's grants concentrate
M2 Distribution Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2020 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, M2 sits between Ledlenser Corporation Ltd. and Marel Townsend Further Processing B.V..
M2's three-year grant acceleration
M2 Distribution Ltd. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
