What this shows Centre's Innovation Score is 44.7/100 (top 25% 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 Centre?

Each dot is one of Centre’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). Centre’s own 12.8 claims/patent is at or below the 13.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Centre's grants concentrate

Centre Hospitalier Regional Et Universitaire De Brest is a focused PatentsView assignee: 17 CPC subclasses with 65% 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, Centre sits between Canplas Industries Ltd. and Clean Chemistry, Inc..

Centre's three-year grant acceleration

Centre Hospitalier Regional Et Universitaire De Brest shows 9 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 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.
