What this shows Mentice's Innovation Score is 30.7/100 (35th 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 Mentice?

Each dot is one of Mentice’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). Mentice’s own 15.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Mentice's grants concentrate

Mentice AB is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Mentice sits between Meltin MMI Co., Ltd. and Merlin MD PTE Ltd..

Mentice's three-year grant acceleration

Mentice AB shows 3 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.
