What this shows Iconix's Innovation Score is 34.7/100 (49th 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 Iconix?

Each dot is one of Iconix’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). Iconix’s own 20.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 10.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Iconix's grants concentrate

Iconix, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 82.4% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Iconix sits between International Refills Company Limited and Innophos, LLC.

Iconix's three-year grant acceleration

Iconix, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
