Does more volume mean deeper claims for Fountain?

Each dot is one of Fountain’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). Fountain’s own 20.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fountain's grants concentrate

Fountain Master, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Fountain sits between Forest Devices, Inc. and G4S Retail Solutions (USA) Inc..

Fountain's three-year grant acceleration

Fountain Master, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
