What this shows Inca's Innovation Score is 34.9/100 (49th 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 Inca?

Each dot is one of Inca’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). Inca’s own 17.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Inca's grants concentrate

Inca Digital Printers Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under B41J (TYPEWRITERS; Selective Printing Mechanisms, i.e. Mechanisms Printing Otherwise Than From A FORME; Correction OF Typographical Errors). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Inca sits between ImaginAb, Inc. and Industry-Academic Cooperation Group of Kyung Hee Universtiy and.

Inca's three-year grant acceleration

Inca Digital Printers Limited shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
