Does more volume mean deeper claims for Yves?

Each dot is one of Yves’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). Yves’s own 1.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Yves's grants concentrate

Yves Saint Laurent is a focused PatentsView assignee: 0 CPC subclasses . Peak complete grant year is 2016 (29 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Yves sits between Stabilus GmbH and Arper S.P.A..

Yves's three-year grant acceleration

Yves Saint Laurent shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
