What this shows IMV's Innovation Score is 39.0/100 (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 IMV?

Each dot is one of IMV’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). IMV’s own 15.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where IMV's grants concentrate

IMV Technologies is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 82.1% of grants classified under A61D (Veterinary Instruments, Implements, Tools, OR Methods). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, IMV sits between Hilite Germany GmbH and Ipar, LLC.

IMV's three-year grant acceleration

IMV Technologies shows 7 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.
