Does more volume mean deeper claims for Cardinal?

Each dot is one of Cardinal’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). Cardinal’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Cardinal's grants concentrate

Cardinal Health Switzerland 515 GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 52.3% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (12 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2021. By volume, Cardinal sits between Belenos Clean Power Holding AG and Cattron North America, Inc..

Cardinal's three-year grant acceleration

Cardinal Health Switzerland 515 GMBH shows 6 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.
