What this shows Epir's Innovation Score is 42.7/100 (top 30% 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 Epir?

Each dot is one of Epir’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). Epir’s own 12.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Epir's grants concentrate

Epir, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under G01J (Measurement OF Intensity, Velocity, Spectral Content, Polarisation, Phase OR Pulse Characteristics OF Infrared, Visible OR Ultraviolet LIGHT; COLORIMETRY; Radiation Pyrometry). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Epir sits between Eped, Inc. and Equi-nom Ltd.

Epir's three-year grant acceleration

Epir, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
