What this shows Kingston's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 Kingston?

Each dot is one of Kingston’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). Kingston’s own 14.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Kingston's grants concentrate

Kingston Health Sciences Centre is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 72.7% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Kingston sits between Katcher LLC and Konica Minolta Healthcare Americas, Inc..

Kingston's three-year grant acceleration

Kingston Health Sciences Centre shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
