What this shows Rhode's Innovation Score is 49.1/100 (top 15% 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 Rhode?

Each dot is one of Rhode’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). Rhode’s own 14.5 claims/patent is at or below the 15.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Rhode's grants concentrate

Rhode Island Hospital is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 68.4% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Rhode sits between Poly-Med, Inc. and Swoop IP Holdings LLC.

Rhode's three-year grant acceleration

Rhode Island Hospital shows 20 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
