What this shows HLI's Innovation Score is 58.0/100 (top 5% 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 HLI?

Each dot is one of HLI’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). HLI’s own 12.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where HLI's grants concentrate

HLI Solutions, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 23 CPC subclasses with 48.1% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (25 grants) versus a trough of 21 in 2024. By volume, HLI sits between Frore Systems Inc. and Intrado Corporation.

HLI's three-year grant acceleration

HLI Solutions, Inc. shows 46 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.
