Does more volume mean deeper claims for Vicarious?

Each dot is one of Vicarious’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). Vicarious’s own 25.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Vicarious's grants concentrate

Vicarious Surgical Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 95% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Vicarious sits between Vantage Mobility International, LLC and Visby Medical, Inc..

Vicarious's three-year grant acceleration

Vicarious Surgical Inc. shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
