What this shows Hulico's Innovation Score is 44.5/100 (top 25% 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 Hulico?

Each dot is one of Hulico’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). Hulico’s own 15.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 6.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Hulico's grants concentrate

Hulico LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y02W (Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Related TO Wastewater Treatment OR Waste Management). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Hulico sits between Hueck Folien GES.M.B.H. and Huntsman P&A UK Limited.

Hulico's three-year grant acceleration

Hulico LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
