Does more volume mean deeper claims for Virtual?
Each dot is one of Virtual’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). Virtual’s own 16.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Virtual's grants concentrate
Virtual Marketing, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 53.8% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Virtual sits between Verbio Vereinigte Bioenergie AG and Vtouch Co., Ltd..
Virtual's three-year grant acceleration
Virtual Marketing, LLC shows 4 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.
