Does more volume mean deeper claims for Thinkspan?

Each dot is one of Thinkspan’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). Thinkspan’s own 24.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Thinkspan's grants concentrate

Thinkspan, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2022. By volume, Thinkspan sits between The Will-Burt Company and Thuuz, Inc..

Thinkspan's three-year grant acceleration

Thinkspan, LLC shows 4 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.
