Does more volume mean deeper claims for Starkeys?
Each dot is one of Starkeys’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). Starkeys’s own 22.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Starkeys's grants concentrate
Starkeys LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Starkeys sits between ST Engineering Aerospace Ltd and Stowe Woodward Licensco LLC.
Starkeys's three-year grant acceleration
Starkeys LLC shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
