Where does I.R.I.S rank among US patent assignees?

According to USPTO PatentsView (2015–2025 granted utility patents), I.R.I.S ranks #19,937 of 49,997 assignees by granted-patent volume, the same sort as the companies listing and top-holders ranking. See /methodology/#corpus-placement.

How many patents does I.R.I.S hold?

I.R.I.S holds 14 US utility patents granted between 2015 and 2023, spanning 6 technology areas.

What is I.R.I.S's Innovation Score?

I.R.I.S has an Innovation Score of 33.4 out of 100 (44th percentile of the corpus). This composite metric weighs portfolio volume (40%), grant velocity (20%), technology breadth (25%), and claim depth (15%).

What technology areas does I.R.I.S focus on?

I.R.I.S's top technology area is G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding) with 14 patents, ranking #705 of 5,108 assignees active in that subclass. Grants appear in 6 CPC subclasses total.

Is I.R.I.S's patent grant rate increasing or decreasing?

I.R.I.S's recent grant velocity is -44% compared to the prior five-year period (grant years, not application filing dates). Grant activity has slowed relative to earlier years.

What does claim depth mean for I.R.I.S's patents?

I.R.I.S's patents average 14.5 claims each. This is an aggregate descriptive count from the grant record; it does not establish claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk.

How is the I.R.I.S patent data sourced?

All patent data comes from USPTO PatentsView, a public research dataset maintained by the United States Patent and Trademark Office covering US granted utility patents from 2015 to 2025.

What this shows I.r.i.s's Innovation Score is 33.4/100 (44th 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 I.r.i.s?

Each dot is one of I.r.i.s’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). I.r.i.s’s own 14.5 claims/patent is ABOVE the 11.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where I.r.i.s's grants concentrate

I.R.I.S is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G06V (Image OR Video Recognition OR Understanding). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, I.r.i.s sits between Hysitron, Inc. and IIX Inc..

I.r.i.s's three-year grant acceleration

I.R.I.S shows 3 grants in 2022–2024 against only 3 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.
