What this shows Mico's Innovation Score is 32.8/100 (42nd percentile 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 Mico?

Each dot is one of Mico’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). Mico’s own 11.4 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 Mico's grants concentrate

Mico Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 90% of grants classified under H01M (Processes OR Means, e.g. Batteries, FOR THE Direct Conversion OF Chemical Energy Into Electrical Energy). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Mico sits between Mevotech LP and Milbank Manufacturing Co..

Mico's three-year grant acceleration

Mico Ltd. shows 2 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.
