Does more volume mean deeper claims for Checkpoint?

Each dot is one of Checkpoint’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). Checkpoint’s own 21.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Checkpoint's grants concentrate

Checkpoint Surgical, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Checkpoint sits between Cemex Research Group AG and Chemours-mitsui Fluoroproducts Co., Ltd..

Checkpoint's three-year grant acceleration

Checkpoint Surgical, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
