Does more volume mean deeper claims for D?

Each dot is one of D’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). D’s own 16.5 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where D's grants concentrate

D R Burton Healthcare, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, D sits between Cypress Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and D.G.N. S.R.L..

D's three-year grant acceleration

D R Burton Healthcare, LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
