What this shows Intercept's Innovation Score is 43.9/100 (top 27% 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 Intercept?

Each dot is one of Intercept’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). Intercept’s own 14.2 claims/patent is at or below the 16.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Intercept's grants concentrate

Intercept LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Intercept sits between Intelligent Memory Limited and International Frontier Technology Laboratory, Inc..

Intercept's three-year grant acceleration

Intercept LLC shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
