What this shows IOT's Innovation Score is 33.8/100 (45th 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 IOT?

Each dot is one of IOT’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). IOT’s own 18.1 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.9 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where IOT's grants concentrate

IOT CO.LTD. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2019 (11 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, IOT sits between Imagination Broadway Ltd. and Icomera AB.

IOT's three-year grant acceleration

IOT CO.LTD. shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 17 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.
