Does more volume mean deeper claims for Innovation?
Each dot is one of Innovation’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). Innovation’s own 2.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.
Where Innovation's grants concentrate
Innovation U.S.A., Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 5.6% of grants classified under F16H (Gearing). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Innovation sits between Incuvate, LLC and IntraAction Corp..
Innovation's three-year grant acceleration
Innovation U.S.A., Inc. shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
