Does more volume mean deeper claims for Munro?

Each dot is one of Munro’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). Munro’s own 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Munro's grants concentrate

Munro Design & Technologies, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Munro sits between Mucktape LLC and Mycelebs Co., Ltd..

Munro's three-year grant acceleration

Munro Design & Technologies, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
