What this shows Mad's Innovation Score is 37.5/100 (top 43% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Mad?

Each dot is one of Mad’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). Mad’s own 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Mad's grants concentrate

Mad Apparel, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 80.8% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Mad sits between Mitralign, Inc. and Medlumics S.L..

Mad's three-year grant acceleration

Mad Apparel, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
