What this shows Futura's Innovation Score is 30.3/100 (34th 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 Futura?

Each dot is one of Futura’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). Futura’s own 15.0 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Futura's grants concentrate

Futura Medical Developments Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Futura sits between FUNDAÇÃO Universidade DE BRASÍLIA and Fyla Laser, S. L..

Futura's three-year grant acceleration

Futura Medical Developments Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
