What this shows United's Innovation Score is 54.1/100 (top 8% 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 19.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where United's grants concentrate

United States OF America, AS Represented BY Secretary, Department OF Health AND Human Services is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 44.4% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, United sits between ULC Technologies and Universidad DE LA Frontera.

United's three-year grant acceleration

United States OF America, AS Represented BY Secretary, Department OF Health AND Human Services shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
