What this shows Hong's Innovation Score is 44.3/100 (top 26% 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 Hong?

Each dot is one of Hong’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). Hong’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 17.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hong's grants concentrate

Hong Kong Ivps International Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 73.3% of grants classified under A24F (Smokers' REQUISITES; Match BOXES; Simulated Smoking Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (8 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2024. By volume, Hong sits between Hiro Systems PBC and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.

Hong's three-year grant acceleration

Hong Kong Ivps International Limited shows 14 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.
