What this shows ITC's Innovation Score is 37.3/100 (top 44% 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 ITC?

Each dot is one of ITC’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). ITC’s own 11.3 claims/patent is at or below the 14.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where ITC's grants concentrate

ITC Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 22 CPC subclasses with 26.1% of grants classified under F21V (Functional Features OR Details OF Lighting Devices OR Systems THEREOF; Structural Combinations OF Lighting Devices With Other Articles, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, ITC sits between IMS Nanofabrication GmbH and Inductive Automation, LLC.

ITC's three-year grant acceleration

ITC Inc. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
