Does more volume mean deeper claims for Patreon?

Each dot is one of Patreon’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). Patreon’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Patreon's grants concentrate

Patreon, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (12 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Patreon sits between Piramal Enterprises Limited and QBase, LLC.

Patreon's three-year grant acceleration

Patreon, Inc. shows 24 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
