Does more volume mean deeper claims for Impact?

Each dot is one of Impact’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). Impact’s own 20.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Impact's grants concentrate

Impact Selector International, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under E21B (Earth OR Rock DRILLING; Obtaining OIL, GAS, Water, Soluble OR Meltable Materials OR A Slurry OF Minerals From Wells). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Impact sits between Heraeus Electro-Nite International N.V. and Incase Designs Corp..

Impact's three-year grant acceleration

Impact Selector International, LLC shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
