Does more volume mean deeper claims for Exemplar?

Each dot is one of Exemplar’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). Exemplar’s own 6.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Exemplar's grants concentrate

Exemplar Design, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 37.8% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Exemplar sits between Diamet Corporation and Fortemedia, Inc..

Exemplar's three-year grant acceleration

Exemplar Design, LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
