What this shows Adagene's Innovation Score is 52.2/100 (top 10% 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 Adagene?

Each dot is one of Adagene’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). Adagene’s own 25.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Adagene's grants concentrate

Adagene Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). By volume, Adagene sits between Acera LLC and Adelphi Technology, Inc..

Adagene's three-year grant acceleration

Adagene Inc. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 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.
