Does more volume mean deeper claims for Lantheus?

Each dot is one of Lantheus’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). Lantheus’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Lantheus's grants concentrate

Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 92.2% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Lantheus sits between KSR IP Holdings, LLC and Malta Inc..

Lantheus's three-year grant acceleration

Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 15 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.
