Does more volume mean deeper claims for Histologics?
Each dot is one of Histologics’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). Histologics’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Histologics's grants concentrate
Histologics LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Histologics sits between Hicon Co., Ltd. and HK Marketing LC.
Histologics's three-year grant acceleration
Histologics LLC shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
