Does more volume mean deeper claims for Solta?
Each dot is one of Solta’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). Solta’s own 9.0 claims/patent is at or below the 18.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Solta's grants concentrate
Solta Medical Ireland Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Solta sits between Smiths Heimann SAS and Spartan Motors, Inc..
Solta's three-year grant acceleration
Solta Medical Ireland Limited shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
