What this shows IDT's Innovation Score is 38.5/100 (top 41% 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 IDT?

Each dot is one of IDT’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). IDT’s own 12.5 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where IDT's grants concentrate

IDT Europe GmbH is a focused PatentsView assignee: 16 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under H02M (Apparatus FOR Conversion Between AC AND AC, Between AC AND DC, OR Between DC AND DC, AND FOR USE With Mains OR Similar Power Supply SYSTEMS; Conversion OF DC OR AC Input Power Into Surge Output POWER;). Peak complete grant year is 2018 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, IDT sits between Huhtamäki Oyj and Innoscience (SUZHOU) Semiconductor Co., Ltd..

IDT's three-year grant acceleration

IDT Europe GmbH shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
