What this shows Arkansas's Innovation Score is 43.5/100 (top 28% 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 Arkansas?

Each dot is one of Arkansas’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). Arkansas’s own 15.1 claims/patent is at or below the 17.2 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Arkansas's grants concentrate

Arkansas State University—Jonesboro is a focused PatentsView assignee: 32 CPC subclasses with 38.1% 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 2018 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2015. By volume, Arkansas sits between Analytik Jena GmbH and Assured Information Security, Inc..

Arkansas's three-year grant acceleration

Arkansas State University—Jonesboro shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
