Does more volume mean deeper claims for Signus?
Each dot is one of Signus’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). Signus’s own 22.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Signus's grants concentrate
Signus Medizintechnik GMBH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, Signus sits between Shizuoka Prefecture and Silver Cross (IP) Limited.
Signus's three-year grant acceleration
Signus Medizintechnik GMBH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
