Does more volume mean deeper claims for Apogee?

Each dot is one of Apogee’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). Apogee’s own 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Apogee's grants concentrate

Apogee Lighting Holdings, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Apogee sits between Anyon Systems Inc. and Araven, S.L..

Apogee's three-year grant acceleration

Apogee Lighting Holdings, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
