What this shows On-x's Innovation Score is 29.4/100 (31st 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 On-x?

Each dot is one of On-x’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). On-x’s own 16.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where On-x's grants concentrate

On-X Life Technologies, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, On-x sits between ObservePoint, Inc. and Or-Ment LLC.

On-x's three-year grant acceleration

On-X Life Technologies, Inc. shows 1 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.
