What this shows Alcor's Innovation Score is 28.6/100 (28th 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 Alcor?

Each dot is one of Alcor’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). Alcor’s own 7.3 claims/patent is at or below the 10.7 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Alcor's grants concentrate

Alcor Scientific LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 29.4% of grants classified under A61J (Containers Specially Adapted FOR Medical OR Pharmaceutical PURPOSES; Devices OR Methods Specially Adapted FOR Bringing Pharmaceutical Products Into Particular Physical OR Administering FORMS; Devices ). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Alcor sits between Agatsuma Co., Ltd. and Altek Biotechnology Corporation.

Alcor's three-year grant acceleration

Alcor Scientific LLC shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
