What this shows Iron's Innovation Score is 35.7/100 (top 49% 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 Iron?

Each dot is one of Iron’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). Iron’s own 18.4 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.6 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Iron's grants concentrate

Iron OX, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01G (HORTICULTURE; Cultivation OF Vegetables, Flowers, Rice, Fruit, Vines, Hops OR SEAWEED; FORESTRY; Watering). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Iron sits between International E-Z UP, Inc. and Itsaul Plants LLC.

Iron's three-year grant acceleration

Iron OX, Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
