Does more volume mean deeper claims for Saphena?

Each dot is one of Saphena’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). Saphena’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Saphena's grants concentrate

Saphena Medical, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Saphena sits between Suzhou Centec Communications Co., Ltd. and Scentsy, Inc..

Saphena's three-year grant acceleration

Saphena Medical, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
