What this shows Hermes's Innovation Score is 37.4/100 (top 44% 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 Hermes?

Each dot is one of Hermes’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). Hermes’s own 16.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Hermes's grants concentrate

Hermes Sellier is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 41.7% of grants classified under A45C (PURSES; LUGGAGE; Hand Carried Bags). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Hermes sits between HEB Grocery Company, LP and HK INNO.N Corporation.

Hermes's three-year grant acceleration

Hermes Sellier shows 2 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.
