What this shows 3I's Innovation Score is 50.9/100 (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 3I?

Each dot is one of 3I’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). 3I’s own 12.5 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where 3I's grants concentrate

3I Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 57.1% of grants classified under G06T (Image Data Processing OR Generation, IN General). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, 3I sits between ÖHLINS Racing AB and ABB AB.

3I's three-year grant acceleration

3I Inc. shows 13 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
