What this shows Biocept's Innovation Score is 34.0/100 (46th 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 Biocept?

Each dot is one of Biocept’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). Biocept’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Biocept's grants concentrate

Biocept, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Biocept sits between Bidgely, Inc. and Biotronik CRM Patent AG.

Biocept's three-year grant acceleration

Biocept, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
