Does more volume mean deeper claims for UD?
Each dot is one of UD’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). UD’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where UD's grants concentrate
UD Innovations, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, UD sits between U.S. Government as represented by the Director, National Security Agency and UHV Technologies, Inc..
UD's three-year grant acceleration
UD Innovations, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
