What this shows Capsum's Innovation Score is 40.3/100 (top 36% 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 Capsum?

Each dot is one of Capsum’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). Capsum’s own 15.9 claims/patent is ABOVE the 14.7 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Capsum's grants concentrate

Capsum is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 78.3% of grants classified under A61K (Preparations FOR Medical, Dental OR Toiletry Purposes). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2017. By volume, Capsum sits between Bridger Photonics, Inc. and China Three Gorges Corporation.

Capsum's three-year grant acceleration

Capsum shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 9 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.
