What this shows Carbios's Innovation Score is 43.4/100 (top 28% 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 Carbios?

Each dot is one of Carbios’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). Carbios’s own 20.8 claims/patent is ABOVE the 16.0 median for these volume peers. More thorough claims than most filers at this scale, not just more of them.

Where Carbios's grants concentrate

Carbios is a focused PatentsView assignee: 14 CPC subclasses with 85.7% of grants classified under C08J (WORKING-UP; General Processes OF COMPOUNDING; After-treatment NOT Covered BY Subclasses C08b, C08c, C08f, C08g or C08h). Peak complete grant year is 2020 (7 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Carbios sits between Bracco Diagnostics Inc. and Comet AG.

Carbios's three-year grant acceleration

Carbios shows 11 grants in 2022–2024 against only 12 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.
