Does more volume mean deeper claims for Louis?

Each dot is one of Louis’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). Louis’s own 10.4 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Louis's grants concentrate

Louis Garneau Sports Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 27.3% of grants classified under A42B (HATS; Head Coverings). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Louis sits between LMD Applied Science, LLC and Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc..

Louis's three-year grant acceleration

Louis Garneau Sports Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
