What this shows Intermec's Innovation Score is 36.2/100 (top 47% 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 Intermec?

Each dot is one of Intermec’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). Intermec’s own 19.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Intermec's grants concentrate

Intermec, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 13 CPC subclasses with 70.8% of grants classified under G06K (Graphical Data Reading ; Presentation OF DATA; Record CARRIERS; Handling Record Carriers). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (9 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Intermec sits between IMO Holding GMBH and Improbable Worlds Limited.

Intermec's three-year grant acceleration

Intermec, Inc. shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
