Does more volume mean deeper claims for Shakespeare?

Each dot is one of Shakespeare’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). Shakespeare’s own 13.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Shakespeare's grants concentrate

Shakespeare Company, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 46.4% of grants classified under A01D (HARVESTING; Mowing). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Shakespeare sits between Rosetta Genomics Ltd. and Si-ware Systems.

Shakespeare's three-year grant acceleration

Shakespeare Company, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
