Does more volume mean deeper claims for Openai?
Each dot is one of Openai’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). Openai’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Openai's grants concentrate
OpenAI OpCo, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 68.2% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). By volume, Openai sits between Occidental Chemical Corporation and Oxford Instruments Asylum Research, Inc..
Openai's three-year grant acceleration
OpenAI OpCo, LLC shows 14 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.
