What this shows HID's Innovation Score is 52.8/100 (top 10% 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 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.6 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 Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 30% of grants classified under G06K (Graphical Data Reading ; Presentation OF DATA; Record CARRIERS; Handling Record Carriers). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, HID sits between Gold Bond Building Products, LLC and Hudson Furniture, Inc..

HID's three-year grant acceleration

HID Global Corp. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
