What this shows Hemisphere's Innovation Score is 26.4/100 (20th 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 Hemisphere?

Each dot is one of Hemisphere’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). Hemisphere’s own 11.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hemisphere's grants concentrate

Hemisphere Gnss, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Hemisphere sits between Helic, Inc. and Hera Wireless S.A..

Hemisphere's three-year grant acceleration

Hemisphere Gnss, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
