What this shows Hint's Innovation Score is 46.9/100 (top 20% 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 Hint?

Each dot is one of Hint’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). Hint’s own 9.7 claims/patent is at or below the 10.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hint's grants concentrate

Hint, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 27.6% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Hint sits between Hyperice IP Subco, LLC and Ideal Fastener (GUANGDONG) Industries Ltd..

Hint's three-year grant acceleration

Hint, Inc. shows 18 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
