Does more volume mean deeper claims for Forge?

Each dot is one of Forge’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). Forge’s own 14.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Forge's grants concentrate

Forge Tech, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 94.4% of grants classified under Y10T (Technical Subjects Covered BY Former US Classification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Forge sits between Flagship Biosciences, Inc and Freelinc Technologies Inc..

Forge's three-year grant acceleration

Forge Tech, Inc. shows 5 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.
