Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sol-gel?
Each dot is one of Sol-gel’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). Sol-gel’s own 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Sol-gel's grants concentrate
Sol-Gel Technologies Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 86.2% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Sol-gel sits between Shoot-A-Way, Inc. and T2 Biosystems, Inc..
Sol-gel's three-year grant acceleration
Sol-Gel Technologies Ltd. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
