What this shows Whill's Innovation Score is 51.0/100 (top 12% 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 Whill?

Each dot is one of Whill’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). Whill’s own 6.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Whill's grants concentrate

Whill, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 32% of grants classified under A61G (Transport, Personal Conveyances, OR Accommodation Specially Adapted FOR Patients OR Disabled Persons ; Operating Tables OR CHAIRS; Chairs FOR DENTISTRY; Funeral Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Whill sits between Virtual Incision Corporation and XDI Holdings, LLC.

Whill's three-year grant acceleration

Whill, Inc. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
