What this shows Penumbra's Innovation Score is 63.1/100 (top 2% 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 Penumbra?

Each dot is one of Penumbra’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). Penumbra’s own 16.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Penumbra's grants concentrate

Penumbra, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 28 CPC subclasses with 71.9% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (16 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Penumbra sits between Ojjo, Inc. and Shenzhen Zhengtu Auto Accessories Co., Ltd..

Penumbra's three-year grant acceleration

Penumbra, Inc. shows 36 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.
