Does more volume mean deeper claims for Staar?

Each dot is one of Staar’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). Staar’s own 17.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 7.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Staar's grants concentrate

Staar Surgical Company is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). By volume, Staar sits between SPI Lasers UK Limited and Staffingengine, LLC.

Staar's three-year grant acceleration

Staar Surgical Company shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
