Does more volume mean deeper claims for ICM?
Each dot is one of ICM’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). ICM’s own 19.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where ICM's grants concentrate
ICM (Institut Du Cerveau Et De La Moellle Épiniére) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under A61B (DIAGNOSIS; SURGERY; Identification). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, ICM sits between ICE Edge Business Solutions, Ltd. and Ideacuria Inc..
ICM's three-year grant acceleration
ICM (Institut Du Cerveau Et De La Moellle Épiniére) shows 4 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.
