Where Medtronic's grants concentrate

Medtronic SG, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Medtronic sits between Medici Technologies LLC and Meijer, Inc..

Medtronic's three-year grant acceleration

Medtronic SG, LLC shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
