What this shows Bacterin's Innovation Score is 40.3/100 (top 36% 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 Bacterin?

Each dot is one of Bacterin’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). Bacterin’s own 22.5 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 Bacterin's grants concentrate

Bacterin International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Bacterin sits between BTL Holdings Limited and Bechtel Energy Technologies & Solutions, Inc..

Bacterin's three-year grant acceleration

Bacterin International, Inc. shows 4 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.
