Does more volume mean deeper claims for Menicon?

Each dot is one of Menicon’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). Menicon’s own 21.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Menicon's grants concentrate

Menicon Singapore PTE. Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 40.9% of grants classified under G02C (SPECTACLES; Sunglasses OR Goggles Insofar AS They Have THE Same Features AS SPECTACLES; Contact Lenses). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Menicon sits between Marel A/S and Morgan Solar Inc..

Menicon's three-year grant acceleration

Menicon Singapore PTE. Ltd. shows 10 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.
