What this shows International's Innovation Score is 24.1/100 (14th percentile 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 International?

Each dot is one of International’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). International’s own 3.5 claims/patent is at or below the 14.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where International's grants concentrate

International Currency Technologies Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 22.7% of grants classified under G07D (Handling OF Coins OR Valuable Papers, e.g. Testing, Sorting BY Denominations, Counting, Dispensing, Changing OR Depositing). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, International sits between IHI Machinery AND Furnace Co., Ltd. and Ishida Europe Limited.

International's three-year grant acceleration

International Currency Technologies Corporation shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
