What this shows Ipcom's Innovation Score is 43.0/100 (top 29% 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 Ipcom?

Each dot is one of Ipcom’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). Ipcom’s own 12.3 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Ipcom's grants concentrate

IPCom GmbH & Co. KG is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 92.7% of grants classified under H04W (Wireless Communication Networks). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (11 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2017. By volume, Ipcom sits between George Mason University and Julius-Maximilians-Universitat Wurzburg.

Ipcom's three-year grant acceleration

IPCom GmbH & Co. KG shows 28 grants in 2022–2024 against only 16 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.
