What this shows Ortho-clinical's Innovation Score is 46.8/100 (top 20% 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 Ortho-clinical?

Each dot is one of Ortho-clinical’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). Ortho-clinical’s own 13.7 claims/patent is at or below the 16.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ortho-clinical's grants concentrate

Ortho-clinical Diagnostics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 84.1% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (16 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Ortho-clinical sits between Lund Motion Products, Inc. and Qualtrics, LLC.

Ortho-clinical's three-year grant acceleration

Ortho-clinical Diagnostics, Inc. shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
