What this shows Indian's Innovation Score is 47.8/100 (top 18% 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 Indian?

Each dot is one of Indian’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). Indian’s own 19.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Indian's grants concentrate

Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur is a focused PatentsView assignee: 38 CPC subclasses with 16.7% of grants classified under H10K (Organic Electric Solid-state Devices). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2023. By volume, Indian sits between IB Appliances US Holdings, LLC and Ipetit Co., Ltd..

Indian's three-year grant acceleration

Indian Institute OF Technology Kanpur shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
