What this shows Epica's Innovation Score is 36.5/100 (top 46% 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 Epica?

Each dot is one of Epica’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). Epica’s own 13.4 claims/patent is at or below the 20.4 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Epica's grants concentrate

Epica International, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 90.9% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Epica sits between Ecole DE Technologie Superieure and Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich.

Epica's three-year grant acceleration

Epica International, Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
