Does more volume mean deeper claims for Photogauge?

Each dot is one of Photogauge’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). Photogauge’s own 18.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Photogauge's grants concentrate

Photogauge, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Photogauge sits between Philips Healthcare Informatics, Inc. and PicScout (Israel) Ltd..

Photogauge's three-year grant acceleration

Photogauge, Inc. shows 4 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.
