Does more volume mean deeper claims for Silvergate?

Each dot is one of Silvergate’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). Silvergate’s own 21.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Silvergate's grants concentrate

Silvergate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Silvergate sits between Shenzhen Xingyingda Industry Co., Ltd and Sony Pictures Technologies, Inc..

Silvergate's three-year grant acceleration

Silvergate Pharmaceuticals, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
