Does more volume mean deeper claims for Megvii?
Each dot is one of Megvii’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). Megvii’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Megvii's grants concentrate
Megvii (BEIJING) Technology Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 81.3% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Megvii sits between Marvel Technology (CHINA) Co., Ltd and Merck & CIE.
Megvii's three-year grant acceleration
Megvii (BEIJING) Technology Co., Ltd. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
