Does more volume mean deeper claims for Forest?

Each dot is one of Forest’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). Forest’s own 15.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 3.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Forest's grants concentrate

Forest Devices, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Forest sits between FlowJo, LLC and Fountain Master, LLC.

Forest's three-year grant acceleration

Forest Devices, Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
