What this shows Kind's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th 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 Kind?

Each dot is one of Kind’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). Kind’s own 10.0 claims/patent is at or below the 14.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Kind's grants concentrate

Kind Consumer Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 75.8% 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 2017 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Kind sits between Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells Limited and Kindeva Drug Delivery L.P..

Kind's three-year grant acceleration

Kind Consumer Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
