What this shows HB's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (top 49% 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 HB?

Each dot is one of HB’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). HB’s own 16.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where HB's grants concentrate

HB Performance Systems Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 45.5% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, HB sits between Harrow IP, LLC and Henan Zhongda Hengyuan Biotechnology Stock Co., Ltd..

HB's three-year grant acceleration

HB Performance Systems Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
