What this shows ITM's Innovation Score is 35.6/100 (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 ITM?

Each dot is one of ITM’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). ITM’s own 10.7 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 ITM's grants concentrate

ITM Semiconductor Co., Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 21 CPC subclasses with 47.8% of grants classified under H01L (Semiconductor Devices NOT Covered BY Class H10). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (6 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, ITM sits between Inno Instrument (CHINA) Inc. and Innovasis Inc..

ITM's three-year grant acceleration

ITM Semiconductor Co., Ltd. shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
