Does more volume mean deeper claims for Queen?

Each dot is one of Queen’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). Queen’s own 13.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Queen's grants concentrate

Queen Mary University OF London is a focused PatentsView assignee: 34 CPC subclasses with 41.5% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Queen sits between Polyphor AG and Reel Power Licensing Corp..

Queen's three-year grant acceleration

Queen Mary University OF London shows 18 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.
