Does more volume mean deeper claims for Orthofix?
Each dot is one of Orthofix’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). Orthofix’s own 18.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Orthofix's grants concentrate
Orthofix US LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, Orthofix sits between Oregon Tool, Inc. and Paneratech, Inc..
Orthofix's three-year grant acceleration
Orthofix US LLC shows 9 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.
