What this shows ilumisys's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 ilumisys?

Each dot is one of ilumisys’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). ilumisys’s own 16.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where ilumisys's grants concentrate

iLumisys, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 71.9% of grants classified under F21K (Non-electric Light Sources Using LUMINESCENCE; Light Sources Using ELECTROCHEMILUMINESCENCE; Light Sources Using Charges OF Combustible MATERIAL; Light Sources Using Semiconductor Devices AS Light-gen). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (14 grants) versus a trough of 3 in 2022. By volume, ilumisys sits between X-fab Semiconductor Foundries GMBH and AbbVie Biotechnology Ltd..

ilumisys's three-year grant acceleration

iLumisys, Inc. shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 18 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.
