What this shows I.d.'s Innovation Score is 41.8/100 (top 32% 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 I.d.?

Each dot is one of I.d.’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). I.d.’s own 18.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where I.d.'s grants concentrate

I.D. Systems, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 20 CPC subclasses with 40% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, I.d. sits between Hubbardton Forge, LLC. and Ikeyless, LLC.

I.d.'s three-year grant acceleration

I.D. Systems, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
