Does more volume mean deeper claims for Secretary?

Each dot is one of Secretary’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). Secretary’s own 10.8 claims/patent is at or below the 13.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Secretary's grants concentrate

Secretary, Department OF Biotechnology is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Secretary sits between SCF Pharma Inc. and Sen-jam Pharmaceutical Inc..

Secretary's three-year grant acceleration

Secretary, Department OF Biotechnology shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
