What this shows ICL's Innovation Score is 30.6/100 (35th 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 ICL?

Each dot is one of ICL’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). ICL’s own 7.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ICL's grants concentrate

ICL Europe Cooperatief U.A. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under C05G (Mixtures OF Fertilisers Covered Individually BY Different Subclasses OF Class C05; Mixtures OF ONE OR More Fertilisers With Materials NOT Having A Specific Fertilising Activity, e.g. Pesticides, Soil-). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, ICL sits between IBM International Group BV and IDchecker, Inc..

ICL's three-year grant acceleration

ICL Europe Cooperatief U.A. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
