What this shows Intrepid's Innovation Score is 39.3/100 (top 38% 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 Intrepid?

Each dot is one of Intrepid’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). Intrepid’s own 19.3 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 Intrepid's grants concentrate

Intrepid Automation, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 94.4% of grants classified under B33Y (Additive Manufacturing, i.e. Manufacturing OF Three-dimensional [3-D] Objects BY Additive Deposition, Additive Agglomeration OR Additive Layering, e.g. BY 3-D Printing, Stereolithography OR Selective ). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (5 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2023. By volume, Intrepid sits between Innovative Product Brands, Inc. and Jammit, Inc..

Intrepid's three-year grant acceleration

Intrepid Automation, Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
