Does more volume mean deeper claims for Q?
Each dot is one of Q’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). Q’s own 19.1 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 Q's grants concentrate
Q (Cue) Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 94.7% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Q sits between ProAmpac Holdings Inc. and Questek Innovations LLC.
Q's three-year grant acceleration
Q (Cue) Ltd. shows 12 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.
