What this shows Hourglass's Innovation Score is 51.4/100 (top 11% 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 Hourglass?

Each dot is one of Hourglass’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). Hourglass’s own 13.1 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hourglass's grants concentrate

Hourglass Medical LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Hourglass sits between High Power Opto, Inc. and Hyperion Core, Inc..

Hourglass's three-year grant acceleration

Hourglass Medical LLC shows 11 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.
