Does more volume mean deeper claims for Pillar?

Each dot is one of Pillar’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). Pillar’s own 19.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Pillar's grants concentrate

Pillar Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under H04Q (Selecting). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Pillar sits between Pi-crystal Incorporation and Planar Motor Incorporated.

Pillar's three-year grant acceleration

Pillar Technologies, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
