What this shows Ontex's Innovation Score is 58.6/100 (top 4% 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 Ontex?

Each dot is one of Ontex’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). Ontex’s own 16.7 claims/patent is at or below the 19.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ontex's grants concentrate

Ontex Group NV is a focused PatentsView assignee: 18 CPC subclasses with 94% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (20 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2020. By volume, Ontex sits between Nguyen Gaming LLC and Playcore Wisconsin, Inc..

Ontex's three-year grant acceleration

Ontex Group NV shows 31 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
