What this shows Association's Innovation Score is 48.2/100 (top 17% 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 Association?
Each dot is one of Association’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). Association’s own 14.6 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.4 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.
Where Association's grants concentrate
Association FOR THE Advancement OF Tissue Engineering AND Cell Based Technologies & Therapies A4TEC—ASSOCIAÇÃO is a focused PatentsView assignee: 12 CPC subclasses with 71.4% of grants classified under A61L (Methods OR Apparatus FOR Sterilising Materials OR Objects IN GENERAL; Disinfection, Sterilisation OR Deodorisation OF AIR; Chemical Aspects OF Bandages, Dressings, Absorbent Pads OR Surgical ARTICLES;). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Association sits between ASOCIACIÓN Centro DE INVESTIGACIÓN Cooperativa EN Biociencias-cic Biogune and ATTAX.
Association's three-year grant acceleration
Association FOR THE Advancement OF Tissue Engineering AND Cell Based Technologies & Therapies A4TEC—ASSOCIAÇÃO shows 4 grants in 2022–2024 against only 1 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.
