What this shows Interactive's Innovation Score is 41.7/100 (top 33% 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 Interactive?

Each dot is one of Interactive’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). Interactive’s own 13.0 claims/patent is at or below the 13.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Interactive's grants concentrate

Interactive Brokers LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 58.3% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Interactive sits between Insurgical. Inc. and Ishifuku Metal Industry Co., Ltd..

Interactive's three-year grant acceleration

Interactive Brokers LLC shows 8 grants in 2022–2024 against only 2 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.
