Does more volume mean deeper claims for Implus?

Each dot is one of Implus’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). Implus’s own 12.2 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Implus's grants concentrate

Implus Footcare, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 29% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Implus sits between Hydril USA Distribution LLC and Kayaba Industry Co., Ltd..

Implus's three-year grant acceleration

Implus Footcare, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
