What this shows HID's Innovation Score is 54.5/100 (top 8% 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 HID?

Each dot is one of HID’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). HID’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where HID's grants concentrate

HID Global CID SAS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 56.3% of grants classified under B42D (BOOKS; Book COVERS; Loose LEAVES; Printed Matter Characterised BY Identification OR Security FEATURES; Printed Matter OF Special Format OR Style NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Devices FOR USE Therewith A). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, HID sits between Healthlead Corporation Limited and Hoseo University Academic Cooperation Foundation.

HID's three-year grant acceleration

HID Global CID SAS shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
