Each dot is one of Nantstudios’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). Nantstudios’s own 22.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Nantstudios's grants concentrate

NantStudios, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Nantstudios sits between Nanchang University and National Institute of Radiological Sciences.

Nantstudios's three-year grant acceleration

NantStudios, LLC shows 6 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.
