What this shows Hydrotek's Innovation Score is 21.6/100 (9th 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 Hydrotek?

Each dot is one of Hydrotek’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). Hydrotek’s own 5.7 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Hydrotek's grants concentrate

Hydrotek Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under F16K (VALVES; TAPS; COCKS; ACTUATING-FLOATS; Devices FOR Venting OR Aerating). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Hydrotek sits between Hydac Mobilhydraulik GMBH and Hyundia Motor Co., Ltd..

Hydrotek's three-year grant acceleration

Hydrotek Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
