What this shows Corteva's Innovation Score is 65.6/100 (top 1% 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 Corteva?

Each dot is one of Corteva’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). Corteva’s own 14.6 claims/patent is at or below the 15.5 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Corteva's grants concentrate

Corteva Agriscience LLC is a focused PatentsView assignee: 35 CPC subclasses with 47.5% of grants classified under A01N (Preservation OF Bodies OF Humans OR Animals OR Plants OR Parts Thereof ; Biocides, e.g. AS Disinfectants, AS Pesticides OR AS Herbicides ; Pest Repellants OR ATTRACTANTS; Plant Growth Regulators). Peak complete grant year is 2023 (23 grants) versus a trough of 13 in 2021. By volume, Corteva sits between Bolton Medical, Inc. and Exel Industries.

Corteva's three-year grant acceleration

Corteva Agriscience LLC shows 66 grants in 2022–2024 against only 13 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.
