What this shows Michigan's Innovation Score is 32.8/100 (42nd 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 Michigan?

Each dot is one of Michigan’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). Michigan’s own 18.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Michigan's grants concentrate

Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 81.8% of grants classified under G16H (Healthcare Informatics, i.e. Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR THE Handling OR Processing OF Medical OR Healthcare Data). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Michigan sits between Melitta Europa GMBH & Co. KG and Micron Electronics LLC.

Michigan's three-year grant acceleration

Michigan Health Information Network Shared Services shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
