What this shows IIX's Innovation Score is 33.7/100 (45th 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 IIX?

Each dot is one of IIX’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). IIX’s own 8.3 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 IIX's grants concentrate

IIX Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under G09G (Arrangements OR Circuits FOR Control OF Indicating Devices Using Static Means TO Present Variable Information). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, IIX sits between I.R.I.S and Indooratlas OY.

IIX's three-year grant acceleration

IIX Inc. 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.
