What this shows International's Innovation Score is 22.2/100 (10th 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 8.4 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 International's grants concentrate

International Plant Propagation Technology, Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 1 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under A01G (HORTICULTURE; Cultivation OF Vegetables, Flowers, Rice, Fruit, Vines, Hops OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; Watering). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, International sits between Integrity Bio-Chemicals, LLC and Iowa Corn Promotion Board.

International's three-year grant acceleration

International Plant Propagation Technology, Ltd shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
