Does more volume mean deeper claims for Frontier?

Each dot is one of Frontier’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). Frontier’s own 23.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 19.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Frontier's grants concentrate

Frontier Communications Holdings, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 66.1% of grants classified under H04B (Transmission). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (14 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Frontier sits between Donnelly Corporation and Gogo Business Aviation LLC.

Frontier's three-year grant acceleration

Frontier Communications Holdings, LLC shows 29 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
