What this shows Icon's Innovation Score is 31.7/100 (39th 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 Icon?

Each dot is one of Icon’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). Icon’s own 9.8 claims/patent is at or below the 18.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Icon's grants concentrate

Icon Vehicle Dynamics LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 26.7% of grants classified under F16F (SPRINGS; SHOCK-ABSORBERS; Means FOR Damping Vibration). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Icon sits between Hydro International Ltd and Impo International LLC.

Icon's three-year grant acceleration

Icon Vehicle Dynamics LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
