What this shows Inogen's Innovation Score is 42.4/100 (top 31% 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 Inogen?

Each dot is one of Inogen’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). Inogen’s own 13.5 claims/patent is at or below the 17.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Inogen's grants concentrate

Inogen, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under A61M (Devices FOR Introducing Media Into, OR Onto, THE Body ; Devices FOR Transducing Body Media OR FOR Taking Media From THE Body ; Devices FOR Producing OR Ending Sleep OR Stupor). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Inogen sits between Ipsen Biopharm Limited and JBL International, Inc.

Inogen's three-year grant acceleration

Inogen, Inc. shows 15 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
