What this shows Intricon's Innovation Score is 32.3/100 (41st 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 Intricon?

Each dot is one of Intricon’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). Intricon’s own 16.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Intricon's grants concentrate

Intricon Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 11 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under H04R (Loudspeakers, Microphones, Gramophone Pick-ups OR Like Acoustic Electromechanical TRANSDUCERS; Deaf-aid SETS; Public Address Systems). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Intricon sits between Intergas Heating Assets B.V. and Ironhawk Industrial Distribution LLC.

Intricon's three-year grant acceleration

Intricon Corporation shows 2 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.
