Does more volume mean deeper claims for Merlyn?

Each dot is one of Merlyn’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). Merlyn’s own 15.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Merlyn's grants concentrate

Merlyn Mind, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Merlyn sits between Mekorot Water Company Ltd and Metacrine, Inc..

Merlyn's three-year grant acceleration

Merlyn Mind, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
