What this shows Micro's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th 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 Micro?

Each dot is one of Micro’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). Micro’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Micro's grants concentrate

Micro Interventional Devices, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Micro sits between Mfoundry, Inc. and Milestone S.r.L..

Micro's three-year grant acceleration

Micro Interventional Devices, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
