What this shows Medtrade's Innovation Score is 39.7/100 (top 37% 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 Medtrade?

Each dot is one of Medtrade’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). Medtrade’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Medtrade's grants concentrate

Medtrade Products Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Medtrade sits between Mack Rides GMBH & Co. KG and Mosys, Inc..

Medtrade's three-year grant acceleration

Medtrade Products Limited shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
