What this shows Selenium's Innovation Score is 51.3/100 (top 12% 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 Selenium?

Each dot is one of Selenium’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). Selenium’s own 15.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Selenium's grants concentrate

Selenium Medical is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 78.9% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Selenium sits between Schweizer Electronic AG and SES Holdings Pte. Ltd..

Selenium's three-year grant acceleration

Selenium Medical shows 10 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.
