Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sonatus?

Each dot is one of Sonatus’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). Sonatus’s own 20.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Sonatus's grants concentrate

Sonatus, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87% of grants classified under G07C (Time OR Attendance REGISTERS; Registering OR Indicating THE Working OF MACHINES; Generating Random NUMBERS; Voting OR Lottery APPARATUS; Arrangements, Systems OR Apparatus FOR Checking NOT Provided FO). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (22 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Sonatus sits between Sumitomo Electric Fine Polymer, Inc. and The Sollami Company.

Sonatus's three-year grant acceleration

Sonatus, Inc. shows 36 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
