Does more volume mean deeper claims for West?

Each dot is one of West’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). West’s own 66.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where West's grants concentrate

West View Research, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, West sits between Wallac OY and Wesco Distribution, Inc..

West's three-year grant acceleration

West View Research, LLC 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.
