Does more volume mean deeper claims for Convergent?

Each dot is one of Convergent’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). Convergent’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Convergent's grants concentrate

Convergent Dental, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 84.4% of grants classified under A61C (DENTISTRY; Apparatus OR Methods FOR Oral OR Dental Hygiene). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2015. By volume, Convergent sits between Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou and Denki Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha.

Convergent's three-year grant acceleration

Convergent Dental, Inc. shows 12 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.
