What this shows Coty's Innovation Score is 31.7/100 (39th percentile 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 Coty?

Each dot is one of Coty’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). Coty’s own 8.3 claims/patent is at or below the 17.8 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Coty's grants concentrate

Coty Inc. is a focused PatentsView assignee: 6 CPC subclasses with 57.7% of grants classified under A61Q (Specific USE OF Cosmetics OR Similar Toiletry Preparations). Peak complete grant year is 2015 (3 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2018. By volume, Coty sits between Colebrook Bosson & Saunders (Products) Limited and D3 Innovation Inc..

Coty's three-year grant acceleration

Coty Inc. shows 7 grants in 2022–2024 against only 7 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.
