What this shows Burcon's Innovation Score is 46.0/100 (top 22% 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 Burcon?

Each dot is one of Burcon’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). Burcon’s own 30.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 15.2 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Burcon's grants concentrate

Burcon NutraScience (MB) Corp. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 8 CPC subclasses with 95.7% of grants classified under A23J (Protein Compositions FOR FOODSTUFFS; Working-up Proteins FOR FOODSTUFFS; Phosphatide Compositions FOR Foodstuffs). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (5 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, Burcon sits between Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama and Centre Hospitalier Universitaire DE Bordeaux.

Burcon's three-year grant acceleration

Burcon NutraScience (MB) Corp. shows 6 grants in 2022–2024 against only 4 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.
