Does more volume mean deeper claims for Simon?

Each dot is one of Simon’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). Simon’s own 4.2 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Simon's grants concentrate

Simon, S.A.U. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 15.8% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Simon sits between Shenzhen Zolon Technology Co., Ltd. and Spolek PRO Chemickou A Hutni Vyrobu A.S..

Simon's three-year grant acceleration

Simon, S.A.U. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
