What this shows MDF's Innovation Score is 38.9/100 (top 39% 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 MDF?

Each dot is one of MDF’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). MDF’s own 9.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where MDF's grants concentrate

MDF Instruments USA LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, MDF sits between Mavic S.A.S. and Medaxis AG.

MDF's three-year grant acceleration

MDF Instruments USA LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
