What this shows Inrix's Innovation Score is 47.0/100 (top 20% 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 Inrix?

Each dot is one of Inrix’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). Inrix’s own 22.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Inrix's grants concentrate

Inrix Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 83.7% of grants classified under G08G (Traffic Control Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2016 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Inrix sits between IMS Gear SE & Co. Kgaa and Insmed Incorporated.

Inrix's three-year grant acceleration

Inrix Inc. shows 10 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
