What this shows Interstate's Innovation Score is 33.3/100 (44th 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 Interstate?

Each dot is one of Interstate’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). Interstate’s own 22.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Interstate's grants concentrate

Interstate Electronics Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 65.2% of grants classified under G01S (Radio DIRECTION-FINDING; Radio NAVIGATION; Determining Distance OR Velocity BY USE OF Radio WAVES; Locating OR Presence-detecting BY USE OF THE Reflection OR Reradiation OF Radio WAVES; Analogous Arra). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Interstate sits between Imperative Care, Inc. and Japan Advanced Institute OF Science AND Technology.

Interstate's three-year grant acceleration

Interstate Electronics Corporation shows 1 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
