What this shows Exo's Innovation Score is 63.8/100 (top 2% 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 Exo?

Each dot is one of Exo’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). Exo’s own 23.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Exo's grants concentrate

Exo Imaging, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 61.8% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (22 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2020. By volume, Exo sits between East Carolina University and Florida A&M University.

Exo's three-year grant acceleration

Exo Imaging, Inc. shows 35 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
