What this shows International's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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 19.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 17.6 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 Water-Guard Industries Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C02F (Treatment OF Water, Waste Water, Sewage, OR Sludge). By volume, International sits between International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. and Intumescents Associates Group (IAG), LLC.

International's three-year grant acceleration

International Water-Guard Industries Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
