What this shows Cambridge's Innovation Score is 52.1/100 (top 10% 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 Cambridge?

Each dot is one of Cambridge’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). Cambridge’s own 21.7 claims/patent is ABOVE the 9.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Cambridge's grants concentrate

Cambridge Glycoscience Ltd is a focused PatentsView assignee: 10 CPC subclasses with 88.9% of grants classified under A23L (Foods, Foodstuffs OR Non-alcoholic Beverages, NOT Otherwise Provided FOR; Preparation OR Treatment Thereof). Peak complete grant year is 2022 (2 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2021. By volume, Cambridge sits between C.M.C. S.p.A. and Capartis AG.

Cambridge's three-year grant acceleration

Cambridge Glycoscience Ltd shows 6 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.
