What this shows Ifpl's Innovation Score is 28.4/100 (27th 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 Ifpl?

Each dot is one of Ifpl’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). Ifpl’s own 13.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ifpl's grants concentrate

Ifpl Group Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 87.5% of grants classified under H01R (Electrically-conductive CONNECTIONS; Structural Associations OF A Plurality OF Mutually-insulated Electrical Connecting ELEMENTS; Coupling DEVICES; Current Collectors). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Ifpl sits between Iconic Data Inc. and Ikin, Inc..

Ifpl's three-year grant acceleration

Ifpl Group Limited shows 1 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.
