Does more volume mean deeper claims for Johnson?
Each dot is one of Johnson’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). Johnson’s own 7.9 claims/patent is at or below the 8.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Johnson's grants concentrate
Johnson & Johnson GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 87.5% 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 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Johnson sits between JSS Optical Technology Co., Ltd. and Kingspan Holdings (IRL) Limited.
Johnson's three-year grant acceleration
Johnson & Johnson GmbH shows 5 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.
