Does more volume mean deeper claims for Intersect?

Each dot is one of Intersect’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). Intersect’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Intersect's grants concentrate

Intersect ENT, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Intersect sits between Inter-University Research Institute Corporation Research Organization of Information and Systems and JX Advanced Metals Corporation.

Intersect's three-year grant acceleration

Intersect ENT, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
