What this shows Custom's Innovation Score is 29.3/100 (30th percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Custom?

Each dot is one of Custom’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). Custom’s own 13.8 claims/patent is at or below the 15.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Custom's grants concentrate

Custom Medical Applications, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 82.4% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Custom sits between Crackle, Inc. and DC Comics.

Custom's three-year grant acceleration

Custom Medical Applications, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
