What this shows Gorbel's Innovation Score is 30.9/100 (36th 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 Gorbel?

Each dot is one of Gorbel’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). Gorbel’s own 9.6 claims/patent is at or below the 16.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Gorbel's grants concentrate

Gorbel, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under A61H (Physical Therapy Apparatus, e.g. Devices FOR Locating OR Stimulating Reflex Points IN THE BODY; Artificial RESPIRATION; MASSAGE; Bathing Devices FOR Special Therapeutic OR Hygienic Purposes OR Specifi). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Gorbel sits between Glen Raven, Inc. and Green Dot Corporation.

Gorbel's three-year grant acceleration

Gorbel, Inc. shows 5 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.
