What this shows IRM's Innovation Score is 41.9/100 (top 32% 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.

Where IRM's grants concentrate

IRM Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 75% of grants classified under A61P (Specific Therapeutic Activity OF Chemical Compounds OR Medicinal Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, IRM sits between IPR—INTELLIGENTE Peripherien FÜR Roboter GMBH and Isco Industries, Inc..

IRM's three-year grant acceleration

IRM Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
