Does more volume mean deeper claims for Choice?

Each dot is one of Choice’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). Choice’s own 7.8 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Choice's grants concentrate

Choice Spine, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 76.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Choice sits between Cerus Corporation and Clayton Corporation.

Choice's three-year grant acceleration

Choice Spine, LLC shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
