Does more volume mean deeper claims for Navy?

Each dot is one of Navy’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). Navy’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Navy's grants concentrate

Navy Federal Credit Union is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2023 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Navy sits between Nanchang O-film Bio-identification Technology Co., Ltd. and Netappli Co., Ltd..

Navy's three-year grant acceleration

Navy Federal Credit Union shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
