What this shows Skeletal's Innovation Score is 25.0/100 (16th percentile 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 Skeletal?

Each dot is one of Skeletal’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). Skeletal’s own 12.1 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Skeletal's grants concentrate

Skeletal Dynamics, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 95.2% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Skeletal sits between Sicoya GMBH and Soft Lines International, Ltd.

Skeletal's three-year grant acceleration

Skeletal Dynamics, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
