Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sportsbeams?

Each dot is one of Sportsbeams’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). Sportsbeams’s own 15.6 claims/patent is at or below the 20.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sportsbeams's grants concentrate

Sportsbeams Lighting, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under F21W (Indexing Scheme Associated With Subclasses F21k, F21l, F21s and F21v, Relating TO Uses OR Applications OF Lighting Devices OR Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Sportsbeams sits between Spinal Modulation, Inc. and Stadler Rail AG.

Sportsbeams's three-year grant acceleration

Sportsbeams Lighting, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
