Does more volume mean deeper claims for Place?

Each dot is one of Place’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). Place’s own 23.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Place's grants concentrate

Place Exchange, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Place sits between Phononic Devices, Inc. and Pneumoflex Systems, LLC.

Place's three-year grant acceleration

Place Exchange, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
