What this shows Horizon's Innovation Score is 40.7/100 (top 35% 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 Horizon?

Each dot is one of Horizon’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). Horizon’s own 6.4 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Horizon's grants concentrate

Horizon International Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 19 CPC subclasses with 58.1% of grants classified under B65H (Handling Thin OR Filamentary Material, e.g. Sheets, Webs, Cables). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (7 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Horizon sits between Hifi Engineering Inc. and Integrated Silicon Solution Inc..

Horizon's three-year grant acceleration

Horizon International Inc. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
