What this shows Hygieia's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 Hygieia?

Each dot is one of Hygieia’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). Hygieia’s own 19.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Hygieia's grants concentrate

Hygieia, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Hygieia sits between Horizon IP Tech, LLC and Image Match Design Inc..

Hygieia's three-year grant acceleration

Hygieia, Inc. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
