Does more volume mean deeper claims for Laboratoires?

Each dot is one of Laboratoires’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). Laboratoires’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 5.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Laboratoires's grants concentrate

Laboratoires Urgo is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Laboratoires sits between L&F Co., Ltd. and Leaders Cosmetics Co., Ltd.

Laboratoires's three-year grant acceleration

Laboratoires Urgo shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
