What this shows Imprint's Innovation Score is 36.1/100 (top 47% 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 Imprint?

Each dot is one of Imprint’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). Imprint’s own 20.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Imprint's grants concentrate

Imprint Energy, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under Y02E (Reduction OF Greenhouse GAS [GHG] Emissions, Related TO Energy Generation, Transmission OR Distribution). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Imprint sits between Invent Umwelt-und Verfahrenstechnik AG and Independence Materials Group, LLC.

Imprint's three-year grant acceleration

Imprint Energy, Inc. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
