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 21.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.9 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 Luxembourg Holdings II S.A.R.L. (“SJM LUX II”) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, St. sits between Sportpet Designs, Inc. and Statoil Gulf Services LLC.

ST. Jude Medical Luxembourg Holdings II S.A.R.L. (“SJM LUX II”) shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
