What this shows United's Innovation Score is 38.9/100 (top 40% 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 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 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 16.8 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 States Endoscopy Group, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 84.2% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, United sits between The Eastern Company and Visible World, LLC.

United's three-year grant acceleration

United States Endoscopy Group, Inc. shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
