What this shows William's Innovation Score is 45.8/100 (top 22% 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 William?

Each dot is one of William’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). William’s own 31.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where William's grants concentrate

William Beaumont Hospital is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 52.4% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, William sits between Videx, Inc. and Wuxi Little Swan Electric Co., Ltd..

William's three-year grant acceleration

William Beaumont Hospital shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
