Does more volume mean deeper claims for Urgo?

Each dot is one of Urgo’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). Urgo’s own 15.3 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 Urgo's grants concentrate

Urgo Recherche Innovation ET Developpement is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 48.1% 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 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Urgo sits between UBE Machinery Corporation, Ltd. and Valeo Klimasysteme GmbH.

Urgo's three-year grant acceleration

Urgo Recherche Innovation ET Developpement shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
