Does more volume mean deeper claims for FW?

Each dot is one of FW’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). FW’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where FW's grants concentrate

FW Murphy Production Controls, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, FW sits between Fundlab Technologies Inc. and Falcon Waterfree Technologies, LLC.

FW's three-year grant acceleration

FW Murphy Production Controls, LLC shows 4 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.
