What this shows Intermotive's Innovation Score is 39.4/100 (top 38% 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 Intermotive?

Each dot is one of Intermotive’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). Intermotive’s own 14.4 claims/patent is at or below the 17.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Intermotive's grants concentrate

InterMotive, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 62.5% of grants classified under B60R (Vehicles, Vehicle Fittings, OR Vehicle Parts, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Intermotive sits between Intelligent Optical Systems and IntraMicron, Inc..

Intermotive's three-year grant acceleration

InterMotive, Inc. shows 3 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.
