Does more volume mean deeper claims for Willow?

Each dot is one of Willow’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). Willow’s own 15.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Willow's grants concentrate

Willow Laboratories, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). By volume, Willow sits between Wacker Neuson Produktion GmbH & Co. and Xiros Limited.

Willow's three-year grant acceleration

Willow Laboratories, Inc. shows 14 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
