Does more volume mean deeper claims for Medtronic?
Each dot is one of Medtronic’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). Medtronic’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
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.
