What this shows Bioventus's Innovation Score is 36.3/100 (top 47% 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 Bioventus?

Each dot is one of Bioventus’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). Bioventus’s own 18.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bioventus's grants concentrate

Bioventus LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 75% 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 2018 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Bioventus sits between BendPak, Inc. and Boost Treadmills, LLC.

Bioventus's three-year grant acceleration

Bioventus LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
