What this shows Medical's Innovation Score is 34.2/100 (47th percentile 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 Medical?

Each dot is one of Medical’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). Medical’s own 9.3 claims/patent is at or below the 9.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Medical's grants concentrate

Medical Depot, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 25% of grants classified under A61H (Physical Therapy Apparatus, e.g. Devices FOR Locating OR Stimulating Reflex Points IN THE BODY; Artificial RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; Bathing Devices FOR Special Therapeutic OR Hygienic Purposes OR Specifi). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Medical sits between Maxim Defense Industries, LLC and Microsemi P.O.E Ltd..

Medical's three-year grant acceleration

Medical Depot, Inc. shows 4 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.
