Does more volume mean deeper claims for Intermetro?
Each dot is one of Intermetro’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). Intermetro’s own 20.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Intermetro's grants concentrate
InterMetro Communications, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 55.6% of grants classified under H04M (Telephonic Communication). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Intermetro sits between Integrated Sensing Systems, Inc. and Intex Recreation Corp..
Intermetro's three-year grant acceleration
InterMetro Communications, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
