Does more volume mean deeper claims for Orckit?

Each dot is one of Orckit’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). Orckit’s own 32.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Orckit's grants concentrate

Orckit IP, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 95.5% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Orckit sits between Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. and Oculii Corp..

Orckit's three-year grant acceleration

Orckit IP, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
