What this shows Vector's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th percentile 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 Vector?

Each dot is one of Vector’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). Vector’s own 13.9 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Vector's grants concentrate

Vector Surgical, LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 37.5% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Vector sits between Vanguard Soap LLC and Venus Laboratories, Inc..

Vector's three-year grant acceleration

Vector Surgical, LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
