Does more volume mean deeper claims for Zeno?
Each dot is one of Zeno’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). Zeno’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Zeno's grants concentrate
Zeno Semiconductor, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 98.4% of grants classified under G11C (Static Stores). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (26 grants) versus a trough of 14 in 2015. By volume, Zeno sits between Pivotal Software, Inc. and Line Corporation.
