What this shows Inter-med's Innovation Score is 46.1/100 (top 22% 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 Inter-med?

Each dot is one of Inter-med’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). Inter-med’s own 12.6 claims/patent is at or below the 13.6 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Inter-med's grants concentrate

Inter-med, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 52.4% of grants classified under A61C (DENTISTRY; Apparatus OR Methods FOR Oral OR Dental Hygiene). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Inter-med sits between Inspire M.D Ltd. and IXI Technology Holdings, Inc..

Inter-med's three-year grant acceleration

Inter-med, Inc. shows 8 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.
