What this shows Imagekeeper's Innovation Score is 56.6/100 (top 6% 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 Imagekeeper?

Each dot is one of Imagekeeper’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). Imagekeeper’s own 21.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Imagekeeper's grants concentrate

Imagekeeper LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 60.9% of grants classified under H04L (Transmission OF Digital Information, e.g. Telegraphic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Imagekeeper sits between Hop Breeding Company, L.L.C. and Institute OF Computing Technology, Chinese Academy OF Sciences.

Imagekeeper's three-year grant acceleration

Imagekeeper LLC shows 16 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
