What this shows Hoey's Innovation Score is 26.1/100 (19th percentile 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 Hoey?

Each dot is one of Hoey’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). Hoey’s own 6.2 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hoey's grants concentrate

Hoey Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 23.1% of grants classified under A44B (Buttons, Pins, Buckles, Slide Fasteners, OR THE Like). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Hoey sits between Hiscene Information Technology Co., Ltd and Haler US Appliance Solutions, Inc..

Hoey's three-year grant acceleration

Hoey Co., Ltd. shows 1 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.
