What this shows Ican's Innovation Score is 20.6/100 (7th percentile 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 Ican?

Each dot is one of Ican’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). Ican’s own 5.0 claims/patent is at or below the 12.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ican's grants concentrate

Ican Company Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 50% of grants classified under F16D (Couplings FOR Transmitting ROTATION; CLUTCHES; Brakes). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ican sits between Hänel & Co. and Icharts, Inc..

Ican's three-year grant acceleration

Ican Company Ltd. shows 1 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.
