What this shows Intel's Innovation Score is 63.3/100 (top 2% 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 Intel?

Each dot is one of Intel’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). Intel’s own 20.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

How Intel's grant cadence moved

Between 2020–2024, Intel IP Corporation received 325 grants versus 1,493 in 2015–2019 (-78% equal-window velocity, below median growth). Across complete PatentsView years, output peaked in 2019 at 468 grants and bottomed in 2023 at 1. Lead class H04W accounts for 67.4% of the portfolio across 85 subclasses. Volume neighbours: California Institute OF Technology (#219) and Wistron Corporation (#227).

Intel's three-year grant acceleration

From 2019–2021 to 2022–2024, Intel IP Corporation moved from 788 to 5 grants (0.01x the prior three-year total, a multiple, not a CAGR). Among 3,296 tracked assignees with ≥100 grants and ≥20 prior-period grants, that multiple ranks #3,292. See the growth leaderboard.
