What this shows Imthera's Innovation Score is 30.4/100 (34th percentile 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 Imthera?

Each dot is one of Imthera’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). Imthera’s own 16.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Imthera's grants concentrate

ImThera Medical, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A61N (ELECTROTHERAPY; MAGNETOTHERAPY; Radiation THERAPY; Ultrasound Therapy). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Imthera sits between ISABELLENHÜTTE Heusler GMBH & Co. KG and Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad (IITH).

Imthera's three-year grant acceleration

ImThera Medical, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
