What this shows Bayer's Innovation Score is 37.2/100 (top 44% 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 Bayer?

Each dot is one of Bayer’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). Bayer’s own 10.5 claims/patent is at or below the 12.1 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Bayer's grants concentrate

Bayer Oy is a focused PatentsView assignee: 9 CPC subclasses with 58.8% of grants classified under A61F (Filters Implantable Into Blood VESSELS; PROSTHESES; Devices Providing Patency TO, OR Preventing Collapsing OF, Tubular Structures OF THE Body, e.g. STENTS; Orthopaedic, Nursing OR Contraceptive Device). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (6 grants) versus a trough of 2 in 2016. By volume, Bayer sits between Biomadison, Inc. and Blue-White Industries, Ltd..

Bayer's three-year grant acceleration

Bayer Oy shows 12 grants in 2022–2024 against only 10 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.
