Does more volume mean deeper claims for Royal?

Each dot is one of Royal’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). Royal’s own 14.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Royal's grants concentrate

Royal Holloway AND Bedford NEW College is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 92.9% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Royal sits between Rolls-royce Marine AS and Ruag Space AB.

Royal's three-year grant acceleration

Royal Holloway AND Bedford NEW College shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
