Does more volume mean deeper claims for Virtamed?

Each dot is one of Virtamed’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). Virtamed’s own 23.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Virtamed's grants concentrate

Virtamed AG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G09B (Educational OR Demonstration APPLIANCES; Appliances FOR Teaching, OR Communicating With, THE Blind, Deaf OR MUTE; MODELS; PLANETARIA; GLOBES; MAPS; Diagrams). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Virtamed sits between Vidaa (NETHERLANDS) International Holdings B.V. Vidaa and Visual Impact Films Corp..

Virtamed's three-year grant acceleration

Virtamed AG shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
