What this shows Israel's Innovation Score is 41.5/100 (top 33% 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 Israel?

Each dot is one of Israel’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). Israel’s own 18.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 12.8 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Israel's grants concentrate

Israel Weapon Industries (I.W.I) Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 83.3% of grants classified under F41A (Functional Features OR Details Common TO Both Smallarms AND Ordnance, e.g. CANNONS; Mountings FOR Smallarms OR Ordnance). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Israel sits between Intrabio Ltd. and Ibotta, Inc..

Israel's three-year grant acceleration

Israel Weapon Industries (I.W.I) Ltd. shows 5 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.
