Does more volume mean deeper claims for ING?

Each dot is one of ING’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). ING’s own 6.1 claims/patent is at or below the 11.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ING's grants concentrate

ING Source, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 35.7% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, ING sits between Indeutsch Industries Private Limited and Institute OF Nuclear Energy Research.

ING's three-year grant acceleration

ING Source, Inc. shows 1 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.
