What this shows Bausch's Innovation Score is 48.6/100 (top 16% 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 Bausch?

Each dot is one of Bausch’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). Bausch’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bausch's grants concentrate

Bausch Health Ireland Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 76.2% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2019. By volume, Bausch sits between Banma Zhixing Network (HONGKONG) Co., Limited and Blount, Inc..

Bausch's three-year grant acceleration

Bausch Health Ireland Limited shows 27 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
