What this shows Hiptec's Innovation Score is 38.0/100 (top 42% 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 Hiptec?

Each dot is one of Hiptec’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). Hiptec’s own 13.6 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hiptec's grants concentrate

HIPtec AS is a focused PatentsView assignee: 15 CPC subclasses with 80% of grants classified under B22F (Working Metallic POWDER; Manufacture OF Articles From Metallic POWDER; Making Metallic Powder ; Apparatus OR Devices Specially Adapted FOR Metallic Powder). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Hiptec sits between Highlight Therapeutics, S.L. and Hitachi Metals America, Ltd..

Hiptec's three-year grant acceleration

HIPtec AS shows 3 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.
