Does more volume mean deeper claims for Wingarc1st?

Each dot is one of Wingarc1st’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). Wingarc1st’s own 7.9 claims/patent is at or below the 15.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Wingarc1st's grants concentrate

WingArc1st Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 68.8% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Wingarc1st sits between WaterFurnace International, Inc. and Worldwide Pro Ltd..

Wingarc1st's three-year grant acceleration

WingArc1st Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
