Does more volume mean deeper claims for Navigate?

Each dot is one of Navigate’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). Navigate’s own 27.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Navigate's grants concentrate

Navigate Surgical Technologies, Inc is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Navigate sits between Natel Energy Holdings, Inc. and Nevados Engineering, Inc..

Navigate's three-year grant acceleration

Navigate Surgical Technologies, Inc shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
