Does more volume mean deeper claims for Ipco?

Each dot is one of Ipco’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). Ipco’s own 14.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Ipco's grants concentrate

Ipco 2012 Limited is a focused PatentsView assignee: 4 CPC subclasses with 95% of grants classified under G06Q (Information AND Communication Technology [ICT] Specially Adapted FOR Administrative, Commercial, Financial, Managerial OR Supervisory PURPOSES; Systems OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Administrative,). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2024. By volume, Ipco sits between Inflazome Limited and Illumagear, Inc..

Ipco's three-year grant acceleration

Ipco 2012 Limited shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
