Does more volume mean deeper claims for Schmidt?

Each dot is one of Schmidt’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). Schmidt’s own 4.3 claims/patent is at or below the 12.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Schmidt's grants concentrate

Schmidt Design, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A63B (Apparatus FOR Physical Training, Gymnastics, Swimming, Climbing, OR FENCING; Ball GAMES; Training Equipment). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Schmidt sits between Savant Holdings LLC and School Specialty, LLC.

Schmidt's three-year grant acceleration

Schmidt Design, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
