What this shows Imdb.com's Innovation Score is 39.2/100 (top 39% 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 Imdb.com?

Each dot is one of Imdb.com’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). Imdb.com’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.1 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Imdb.com's grants concentrate

IMDB.COM, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 65.1% of grants classified under G06F (Electric Digital Data Processing). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (10 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2021. By volume, Imdb.com sits between Hitachi Solutions, Ltd. and Invently Automotive Inc..

Imdb.com's three-year grant acceleration

IMDB.COM, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
