What this shows Alector's Innovation Score is 47.8/100 (top 18% 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 Alector?

Each dot is one of Alector’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). Alector’s own 34.3 claims/patent is ABOVE the 18.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Alector's grants concentrate

Alector LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 7 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under C07K (Peptides). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (10 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Alector sits between AC Immune SA and Beneq OY.

Alector's three-year grant acceleration

Alector LLC shows 21 grants in 2022–2024 against only 14 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.
