Does more volume mean deeper claims for Children's?

Each dot is one of Children's’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). Children's’s own 17.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Children's's grants concentrate

Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 70.6% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Children's sits between Clover MFG. Co., Ltd. and D.R. Systems, Inc..

Children's's three-year grant acceleration

Children's Hospital & Research Center at Oakland shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
