Does more volume mean deeper claims for Almirall?

Each dot is one of Almirall’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). Almirall’s own 19.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Almirall's grants concentrate

Almirall, S.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 97% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Almirall sits between Ai Cure Technologies LLC and Arcelormittal France.

Almirall's three-year grant acceleration

Almirall, S.A. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
