What this shows California's Innovation Score is 31.1/100 (36th percentile 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 California?

Each dot is one of California’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). California’s own 28.2 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.3 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where California's grants concentrate

California Cooperative Rice Research Foundation, Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 2 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under A01H (NEW Plants OR ; NON-TRANSGENIC; Processes FOR Obtaining THEM; Plant Reproduction BY Tissue Culture Techniques). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2016. By volume, California sits between CSI Cells Co., Ltd. and Caret Holdings, Inc..

California's three-year grant acceleration

California Cooperative Rice Research Foundation, Inc. shows 2 grants in 2022–2024 against only 6 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.
