What this shows Illumagear's Innovation Score is 42.5/100 (top 30% 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 Illumagear?

Each dot is one of Illumagear’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). Illumagear’s own 12.7 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Illumagear's grants concentrate

Illumagear, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 70% of grants classified under A42B (HATS; Head Coverings). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Illumagear sits between Ipco 2012 Limited and Inova Ltd..

Illumagear's three-year grant acceleration

Illumagear, Inc. shows 9 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.
