Does more volume mean deeper claims for Aspire?
Each dot is one of Aspire’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). Aspire’s own 3.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Aspire's grants concentrate
Aspire North America LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 40.4% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (53 grants) versus a trough of 46 in 2024. By volume, Aspire sits between The Western Union Company and Cybersonics, Inc..
Aspire's three-year grant acceleration
Aspire North America LLC shows 99 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.
