What this shows Surgical's Innovation Score is 39.2/100 (top 39% 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 Surgical?

Each dot is one of Surgical’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). Surgical’s own 27.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Surgical's grants concentrate

Surgical Theater, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 92.3% of grants classified under G16H (Healthcare Informatics, i.e. Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR THE Handling OR Processing OF Medical OR Healthcare Data). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Surgical sits between Stäubli Electrical Connectors AG and T-Worx Holdings, LLC.

Surgical's three-year grant acceleration

Surgical Theater, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
