Does more volume mean deeper claims for Wave?

Each dot is one of Wave’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). Wave’s own 16.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Wave's grants concentrate

Wave Sciences, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under H04R (Loudspeakers, Microphones, Gramophone Pick-ups OR Like Acoustic Electromechanical TRANSDUCERS; Deaf-aid SETS; Public Address Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Wave sits between Wsou Investments, LLC and Wipotec Wiege-und Positioniersysteme GmbH.

Wave's three-year grant acceleration

Wave Sciences, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
