Does more volume mean deeper claims for Tangoe?

Each dot is one of Tangoe’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). Tangoe’s own 25.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Tangoe's grants concentrate

Tangoe, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under H04M (Telephonic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Tangoe sits between Taghleef Industries Inc. and Taplast s.r.l..

Tangoe's three-year grant acceleration

Tangoe, Inc. shows 1 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.
