What this shows Idec's Innovation Score is 33.9/100 (46th 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 Idec?

Each dot is one of Idec’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). Idec’s own 10.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Idec's grants concentrate

Idec Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 42.9% of grants classified under H01H (Electric SWITCHES; RELAYS; SELECTORS; Emergency Protective Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Idec sits between I-V Access Technology, Inc. and Indeutsch Industries Private Limited.

Idec's three-year grant acceleration

Idec Corporation shows 4 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.
