What this shows Agricultural's Innovation Score is 27.7/100 (25th 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 Agricultural?

Each dot is one of Agricultural’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). Agricultural’s own 10.1 claims/patent is at or below the 11.0 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Agricultural's grants concentrate

Agricultural Technology Research Institute is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 95.2% of grants classified under C12N (Microorganisms OR ENZYMES; Compositions THEREOF; Propagating, Preserving, OR Maintaining MICROORGANISMS; Mutation OR Genetic ENGINEERING; Culture Media). Peak complete grant year is 2017 (8 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2022. By volume, Agricultural sits between Adtile Technologies Inc. and Alstom Holdings.

Agricultural's three-year grant acceleration

Agricultural Technology Research Institute shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 8 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.
