What this shows Given's Innovation Score is 48.4/100 (top 17% 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 Given?

Each dot is one of Given’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). Given’s own 16.9 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 Given's grants concentrate

Given Imaging Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 90.6% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (18 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Given sits between CorMatrix Cardiovascular, Inc. and Hexion Inc..

Given's three-year grant acceleration

Given Imaging Ltd. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
