Where does 3D Medical rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), 3D Medical ranks #27,938 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does 3D Medical hold?

3D Medical holds 9 US utility patents granted between 2017 and 2023, spanning 11 technology areas.

What is 3D Medical's Innovation Score?

3D Medical has an Innovation Score of 30.6 out of 100 (35th percentile of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does 3D Medical focus on?

3D Medical's top technology area is H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television) with 7 patents, ranking #1,686 of 5,951 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 11 CPC subclasses total.

Is 3D Medical's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

3D Medical's recent grant velocity is +100% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). This indicates accelerating grant output.

What does claim depth mean for 3D Medical's patents?

3D Medical's patents average 14.4 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the 3D Medical patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows 3D's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for 3D?

Each dot is one of 3D’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). 3D’s own 14.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 3D's grants concentrate

3D Medical is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 77.8% of grants classified under H04N (Pictorial Communication, e.g. Television). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, 3D sits between 3-V Biosciences, Inc. and 4D Intellectual Properties, LLC.

3D's three-year grant acceleration

3D Medical 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.
