Does more volume mean deeper claims for Step2gold?

Each dot is one of Step2gold’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). Step2gold’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Step2gold's grants concentrate

Step2gold Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under A45B (Walking Sticks ; UMBRELLAS; Ladies' OR Like Fans). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Step2gold sits between ST. Marianna University School OF Medicine and Stratospheric Airships, LLC.

Step2gold's three-year grant acceleration

Step2gold Co., Ltd. shows 2 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.
