Does more volume mean deeper claims for Fundacio?

Each dot is one of Fundacio’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). Fundacio’s own 18.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Fundacio's grants concentrate

Fundacio Institut DE Recerca Biomedica (IRB BARCELONA) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Fundacio sits between Freudenberg Sealing Technologies S.A.S. DI Externa Italia S.R.L.U. and Faurecia IRYStec Inc..

Fundacio's three-year grant acceleration

Fundacio Institut DE Recerca Biomedica (IRB BARCELONA) shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
