Does more volume mean deeper claims for Mackay?

Each dot is one of Mackay’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). Mackay’s own 12.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Mackay's grants concentrate

MacKay Memorial Hospital is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 47.5% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Mackay sits between Michigan Technological University and Milacron LLC.

Mackay's three-year grant acceleration

MacKay Memorial Hospital shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
