What this shows Bracco's Innovation Score is 47.6/100 (top 18% 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 Bracco?

Each dot is one of Bracco’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). Bracco’s own 20.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Bracco's grants concentrate

Bracco Suisse SA is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 69.8% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Bracco sits between Boston Medical Center Corporation and Carefusion 207, Inc..

Bracco's three-year grant acceleration

Bracco Suisse SA shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
