Does more volume mean deeper claims for Fortus?

Each dot is one of Fortus’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). Fortus’s own 11.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 8.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fortus's grants concentrate

Fortus Medical, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Fortus sits between Form 700 Pty Ltd and Foshan Tuff Plus Auto Lighting Co., Ltd..

Fortus's three-year grant acceleration

Fortus Medical, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
