What this shows Flower's Innovation Score is 22.4/100 (10th 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 Flower?

Each dot is one of Flower’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). Flower’s own 15.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Flower's grants concentrate

Flower Orthopedics Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Flower sits between Floranova Ltd. and Fluor Corporation.

Flower's three-year grant acceleration

Flower Orthopedics Corporation shows 1 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.
