What this shows ibasis's Innovation Score is 35.5/100 (top 49% 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 ibasis?

Each dot is one of ibasis’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). ibasis’s own 27.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ibasis's grants concentrate

iBasis, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, ibasis sits between Yale Security Inc. and ABM International, Inc..

ibasis's three-year grant acceleration

iBasis, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
