Does more volume mean deeper claims for United?
Each dot is one of United’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). United’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 11.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where United's grants concentrate
United Orthopedic Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 3 CPC subclasses with 69.2% 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). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, United sits between U.S. Pole Company, Inc. and Universite DE PAU ET DES Pays DE L'adour.
United's three-year grant acceleration
United Orthopedic Corporation shows 3 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.
