What this shows St.'s Innovation Score is 43.1/100 (top 29% 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 St.?

Each dot is one of St.’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). St.’s own 17.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where St.'s grants concentrate

ST. Jude Medical Coordination Center Bvba is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 94% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, St. sits between Seoyon E-hwa Co., Ltd. and Shape Corp..

St.'s three-year grant acceleration

ST. Jude Medical Coordination Center Bvba shows 10 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.
