What this shows International's Innovation Score is 47.7/100 (top 18% 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 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where International's grants concentrate

International Research Institute (iRI) is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 33.3% of grants classified under A42B (HATS; Head Coverings). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2019. By volume, International sits between Intellishot Holdings Inc. and Intrepid Brands, LLC.

International's three-year grant acceleration

International Research Institute (iRI) shows 5 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.
