What this shows Hospital's Innovation Score is 32.7/100 (42nd 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 Hospital?

Each dot is one of Hospital’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). Hospital’s own 11.4 claims/patent is at or below the 12.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hospital's grants concentrate

Hospital CLÍNIC DE Barcelona is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under C12Q (Measuring OR Testing Processes Involving Enzymes, Nucleic Acids OR Microorganisms ; Compositions OR Test Papers THEREFOR; Processes OF Preparing Such COMPOSITIONS; Condition-responsive Control IN Micr). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Hospital sits between Hgst, Inc. and Hanwha Azdel, Inc..

Hospital's three-year grant acceleration

Hospital CLÍNIC DE Barcelona shows 5 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.
