Does more volume mean deeper claims for Asfora?

Each dot is one of Asfora’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). Asfora’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 18.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Asfora's grants concentrate

Asfora IP, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Asfora sits between Arc Suppression Technologies and BIO Clean Environmental Services, LLC.

Asfora's three-year grant acceleration

Asfora IP, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
