What this shows Adama's Innovation Score is 43.1/100 (top 29% 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 Adama?

Each dot is one of Adama’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). Adama’s own 18.0 claims/patent is ABOVE the 13.5 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Adama's grants concentrate

Adama Makhteshim Ltd. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 86.3% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (12 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Adama sits between The University of Nottingham and Agenus Inc..

Adama's three-year grant acceleration

Adama Makhteshim Ltd. shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 11 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.
